Very interesting. I do this with my security cameras right now but mainly to find out who left poop in front of my house or who left the trash can behind my garage door. The second use case is much easier than the first since a lot of dogs walk past my house, a lot of dogs poop in front of my house, but not a lot of dogs walk by that leave poop behind (or sometimes the poop is out of view).
Interesting idea nonetheless
- axg11 5y agoIn this example you could query for "poop" and then look at the resulting plot for a sustained period of time with high poop probability? :)
- grepfru_it 5y agohow do you distinguish between poop and mud? :) its great in theory but real world creates harder challenges. the real answer is to keep track of all the dogs that pass by and then compare the before/after scenes for differences. i'm doing this with my garage door camera for detecting water (for a completely different problem)
- axg11 5y agoPerhaps analyze for the combination of dogs + poop? The dog probability will be transient/a spike, whereas the poop probability will be constant (after appearance of the dog).
