How necessary is the deep model there? It seems like a simple motion detector would work just as well since he doesn't mention using the lawn himself.

- emeraldd 10y agoLooks like there is a sidewalk through the lawn. Which probably means using a motion detector would force him to sacrifice using the front door.
- Faaak 10y agoYou could either: 1) set the motion detection area only on the lawn 2) Set a delay for like > 30s movement 3) Set times of movement (ie. when they're at work) But the big question is: did it work ?
- TeMPOraL 10y agoIf you create any kind of safe path in such a system, the cat will learn it quickly too. One simpler way to go IMO would be to put the system at ground level and use two motion detectors, one aimed specifically to "see" only things that are a meter or more above the ground. Humans would trigger both, but the cat would only trigger the one aimed at the ground.
- jerf 10y agoSee, the advantage with that plan is that even if the cats figure out how to bypass that system, now you can assuage the pain of failure by filming the cats leaping across your yard like pogo sticks and monetize the video on YouTube. Tens of millions of views guaranteed.
- dharma1 10y agoSemantic segmentation/FCN isn't necessary since the spray isn't targeting the cat location specifically - you could just use a whole image classifier. You don't need a TX1 either, you could run this on a spare phone https://www.tensorflow.org/mobile.html https://www.tensorflow.org/mobile.html http://mxnet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how_to/smart_device.html http://mxnet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/how_to/smart_device.ht... https://github.com/jetpacapp/DeepBeliefSDK https://github.com/jetpacapp/DeepBeliefSDK
- RickS 10y agoThis could certainly be done well sans deep model, but a motion detector alone would probably end up soaking the occasional delivery guy / neighborhood kid.
- zump 10y agoYeah this guy needs to read more. Anything that could perform a simple matrix multiplication could be used.
