Field testing of ElephantAI: with horses

A project log for Elephant AI

In this test, we used the ElephantAI system, with the target animal to changed horses. This was using  TensorFlow & Keras (off-shelf) and TensorFlow using Inception trained on ImageNet 2012 dataset (off-shelf).

So in this test, horses stand in for elephants! 

What we are testing:

1. Do detection devices detect target animal from images acquired when PIR triggered?

2. Do detection devices switch between dayPi and nightPi depending on lighting?

3. Does the IR illumination component of nightPi illuminate target animal at sufficient range?

4. Do the detection devices alert users on SMS list when target animal is detected? Is this ok during night and day? Are the dayPi and nightPi communication via Ethernet?

5. Do nightPi and dayPi communicate via Bluetooth with the deter device? Does the deter device play scare_sounds when the target animal is detected? Well it plays a beep so as not to scare the horses!
