“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”— Ansel Adams

 

The theme this month is Photography  and it comes from .   His idea was to build any projects involving photos.  You could do projects involving stop action photography by combining timers and photography to create stop action photography video projects or any number of projects involving image processing and cameras.  You could do TinyML projects using OpenMV as covered in Build Powerful Wildlife & Livestock Trackers with OpenMV and Edge Impulse, a computer vision project involving AI such as the drone project in Arduino Day Workshop: NanoDrone II: AI and Computer Vision with LoRa (Win a PSoC6 and a Pair of MKR 1300 Boards!) ,  training a neural network such as in LDR Camera #10 : The Artificial Neural Network (SimonnV5) and LDR Camera #8 : Fully Working Camera , using advanced vision and frame manipulation for obstacle avoidance such as in BBAI Seein' Around Corners, Talkin', IoT Exploitin' Backup Car Cam with Onboard Vision AI ,  FPGA such as in SecuCam #2: Hardware Accelerated Motion Detection with the PYNQ-Z2, robotic automation such as Episode 489: Build An FPV Rover with Raspberry Pi , augmented reality such as ARBot #5 : The Final Working (after a fashion) System , and even a Lego Camera such as Episode 465: Lego Raspberry Pi HQ Camera.   There's a lot scope to these projects so share your project ideas below and help inspire one another to get as creative as possible!  If your project idea involves the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera then we'll send you a Raspberry Pi 4 B,  a Raspberry Pi HQ module, and a 12 MP lens to help you turn your idea into a reality.  We're giving away up to 5 Raspberry Pi HQ kits as a promotion.  You can still use whatever hardware you like but we'll pick a few project proposals to send kits to!

  • When is the last day to submit our ideas to win a Raspberry Pi HQ kit?

  • Workout Hero

    my beloved country has just announced yet another full country lock down https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2021/05/694006/malaysia-goes-under-full-lockdown-again-tuesday again image

    this means more tabata, Hiit workout using video conference, like the screenshot below.

    image

     

    problem statement

    plain and simple zoom workout. sometimes unsure how to do some workout type, sometimes unknown the time elapse

     

    Solution

    DIY webcam with Raspberry Pi + High quality camera + High Quality Lens THAT enables workout information overlay

     

    System Diagram

     

    mjpg_streamer is used to make raspberry pi as IP camera

    image

     

    Expected Outcome

    workout information overlay is provided as overlay onto the Workout Hero webcam. it provides useful information like

    1) timer for the current workout (shown as 25s incrementing below)

    2) shows the current workout type (eg. skipping)

    3) shows animation silhouette of current workout type

    image

     

    Extra Mile

    Raspberry Pi is capable of doing AI for the streaming video. With yet unknown effort, it is probably even possible for the Pi to count the workout and overlay it

    example below Workout Hero webcam automatically count how many times skipping has been done

    image

     

    hopefully this YET another lock down will be productive enough for lots of enhanced workout with Pi Workout webcam

  • This pandemic has made most of us work from home. Most of us may not have an ergonomic chair to sit for long enough at home such that it does not affect our body posture and health in the long term.

     

    So I would like to propose a project where the Raspberry Pi HQ kit + Computer Vision (CV) will monitor the posture of the person sitting on a chair and alert when the person's posture is bad and not as per standards (refer image below) for a particular period of time.

    This way we can prevent some of the below detrimental effects on our body.

     

    1. Back, Neck and Shoulder Pain
    2. Poor Circulation
    3. Impaired Lung Function
    4. Poor Digestion
    5. Constricted Nerves
    6. Misaligned Spine
    7. A Curvature of the Spine

  • I'd like to add up object detection (NN) to Episode 465: Lego Raspberry Pi HQ Camera using the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera Kit.

    This would be a great feature to the existing project and can make the photography on HQ camera to its next stage. This can also be tweaked to track a macro-sized object.

  • I like to build a digital camera with autofocus ,digital zoom capabilities  using Raspberry pi 4 with the Pi HQ camera kit and also some steppers .I really wanted to do a digital camera, from when I saw the Pi HQ kit. But, couldn't afford yet one. It is very costly for me I will be using some tiny steppers for zooming and focusing the lens. It will be a great and challenging  fun project and also wroth making I think .

  • This sounds really cool for a project! I had a chance to work with my uncle on a parcel classification project this summer, just when my tenth grade got over. for dimensioning and detection using OpenCV which made use of the Raspberry Pi HQ camera and was simply fascinated by the Video Quality.

    If I were to receive this kit, I'd like to build a bird watcher. I'm fond of Ornithology in my free time, and have usually a lot of birds coming near my house.

     

    As an ambassador at EdgeImpulse, I'd like to use the Object Detection Deployment feature on Raspberry Pi to detect and classify most commonly spotted birds using Machine Learning ( Parrots for sure ). And further, use the linux-python-sdk to alter specific OpenCV functions to analyse bird patterns and time duration when they visit my place. This sounds fun!

    I could also make one of those digital microscopes for SMD soldering. Could be useful for rework, since the camera has actual big lens and stuff.

    Aquatic life is always very fascinating!!!

    Excited to watch the fishes playing hide and seek!

  • I propose a HD webcam buoy to study the underwater aquatic life. It would be extremely fascinating to see what species of aquatic life I could capture on camera in my local river or lakes. The fish never seem to find my lure anytime I have tried fishing, maybe I can at least see them in HD.

     

    For the project blog, I would mount the PI camera in an air tight food container modified to have a glass viewing window on the bottom. A solar panel would be mounted on top of the container wired through a cable gland above the waterline (this wouldn’t be 100% submersible rated but certainly splash and wave resistant).

     

    I believe this project is fitting with the Raspberry Pi community. This is a project build that I believe is as equally fascinating to a young maker as it is in their technical abilities to construct (omitting the power electronics).

    Humans are hard to change but maybe you could change a dog.

    All the best for that!!!
