Good idea. Although, there are not too many wild leopards or tigers running around free in the UK. Will it work with domestic cats? Especially the ones that dig up my garden?

I have an idea of building an autonomous camera panning and zooming system. You would point the camera at an object you wish to track and then the system would try to always keep that object in the center of the frame. As the object moves the tracking algorithm would indicate how the camera needs to pan (up/down, left or right, how fast, etc) and then control signals for a gimbal could be generated. Additionally, the tracking algorithm could estimate the apparent size of the object, and direct an additional motor to control the zoom level of a camera to keep the object roughly the same size in the frame regardless of object range (within the limits of the lens zoom capability).

The potential use cases could be keeping a camera on someone filming a video solo (like youtube vloggers), tracking race cars around a track, tracking radio control aircraft through its flight, or any situation where someone wants to film within a larger area but does not have a person who can man a camera.

An additional goal of this system would be to allow various cameras to be used with it, rather than having a single camera built as part of the system. That way the user could select the camera body and lens type they desired depending on the conditions, but still have autonomous tracking capabilities. In other words, the user could place their own video camera onto the system, calibrate a few parameters, and now have an autonomous tracking system.

The Beaglebone AI would be a perfect platform for this system with its coupling of computer vision capabilities and real-time programmable control. The Beaglebone AI would have the computational power to process video data and run a machine vision tracking algorithm, while also being able to generate the signals to control servos and brushless motors for the gimbaling system, all on a single board to reduce size, weight, and overall circuit complexity.

The BeagleBoneAI would be of great help to implement a trash sorter I am designing to classify between glass, plastic bottes, cans, etc. Computer Vision tools are needed and this board would be a perfect fit.

Vision....a vision to detect intruders and alerts, allow known faces to unlock door, detect leopard or tigers in civilized area to provide alert, to detect people in help in floods!

I will work on problem statement which will improve livelihood. How we can use tech for society and get a better living.

I would rather build a robot which will take care of peppeo - old age and handicap ones!

Too many problems..but we have to work on solution!

Hello,

          I have been working on the field of robotics from 6 years now and always wanted to use the vision-based system for my robotics projects, using the ultrasonic sensor is a good idea to avoid a collision and distance measurement but it cannot recognize objects and board sign, which I want to use in my upcoming projects Beaglebone AI can be good option to make a vision-based systems to detect some objects to pick and place at a particular location and read the sign to move to the destination as required. This video shows the proper example of how this device can be used for vision application https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3_hNBJbqME  kindly check it.

Things I would like to work on:-

Pick and place robot with a sign reading(for navigation)

Color sorting for Automation

Vision-based line follower

Robot Arm with Vision

My major project will be robotics-based because I work in a robotics company. I will share more information on the project status and development on this site.

Regards,

Thank you,

Looks like an interesting idea.

I do like a good swarm.

I'm planning to make a AI drone capabale of doing lot of Thing which is not yet possible. Fully autonomous and able to recognize threats and detect the any Fire in Jungles.

The brain will be beagle bone as it is sufficient to do all these thing along with playing role of an flight controller.

The posts of the Project will be uploaded in my youtube account.

Beaglebone AI is a very interesting masterpiece item for on the edge AI applications. Getting hands on one of these would be valuable and awesome. I would like to integrate it into one of my ongoing projects. The project revolves around the development of a smart AGV (Autonomous Ground Vehicle) for emergency assistance. The AGV required autonomous navigation, obstacle/object detection, and reliable collision avoidance. The test results using Rpi are not in par with the required latency and operational speed. Beaglebone AI will be able to solve these bottlenecks.

Hi, tariq.ahmad, I am very excited to explore this cool new development Board. I did my B.E final year project which is based on real-time image processing. The project title is "Design and development of real-time image processing based air interface for easy accessibility for the disabled", in a simple words, it is a smart-wheelchair prototype where you can control many things just by pointing your fingers without touching anything, that is an air interface based wheelchair control device which can assist the user to perform simple day to day activities such as unlocking a door or switching on/off appliances and also control wheelchair movement.

Working Algorithm in simple words:

1) The camera continuously feeds the real-time image to a laptop.

2) Then process the real-time image using the "Image processing algorithms" to remove noise and get the exact pixel coordinates for finger location using  Matlab and  Simulink on the laptop.

3)Once the location of the fingertip is detected, based on the location command is sent to an Arduino via USB.

4)Arduino in turns sends this information over Bluetooth to another Arduino which controls the home appliances.

I have implemented this design using a web-camera, laptop (as processing unit - Matlab), Arduino, relays, Bluetooth modules and small Arduino-robot (which is used instead of an actual wheelchair).

I have included some images from my project below:-

I saw about this new beagle bone AI board on element 14, which is, of course, a powerful development board no doubt in that, I am planning to enhance and implement some new features on this project using beagle bone AI board for an enhanced image processing and build a more efficient air-interface controlled IoT application.

Hoping to get one of this board... :-)
