The BitNetMCU initiative streamlines the development of highly accurate neural networks for basic microcontrollers, such as the CH32V003, the famous 10 cents RISC-V MCU from WCH. Although recent attention has been on sophisticated AI tools like large language models and image generators, simpler AI applications are proving valuable across various sectors. For example…

Raspberry Breadstick is a very unique development board designed specifically for breadboard prototyping. Unlike traditional development boards that often result in a tangled mess of wires, the Raspberry Breadstick features a unique form factor that spreads its I/O pins along the length of a breadboard. This layout eliminates the need for lengthy jumper wires,…

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. More than two years into the pandemic, there have been many million confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide. Many more have probably gone undocumented. For safety purposes, we made an interesting project, CovAid. The CovAid is an electric…

XGO-Mini from Luwu, a STEM education technology company is a 12 DOF, omnidirectional quadruped robot that can interact with its surroundings using voice, image recognition, and tracking. This advanced programmable, open-source robot has 12 degrees of freedom based on inverse kinematics. It can easily act, walk, and react like a dog and is capable of movement …

Security has always been a major concern for mankind. Today we have video surveillance cameras in schools, hospitals and every other public place to make us feel secured. According to a survey by HIS it is estimated that there were around 245 million security cameras installed and functioning back on 2014, which is like having one security camera for every 30 people on this…

OpenCV is a powerful tool and that combined with Raspberry Pi can open doors to many portable smart devices. In our previous Raspberry Pi CCTV monitoring article, we learned how to get live CCTV video from a DVR using RTSP and display on a Raspberry Pi, do check that out before proceeding. In this article, we will learn how to leverage the power of OpenCV and build a…

In this tutorial, we are going to use OpenCV and Deep Learning models to accurately identify the gender and age of a person from a real-time video stream. The deep learning age and gender detector model that we are going to use today was implemented and trained by Levi and Hassner in their 2015 publication. Age and Gender detection is a two-step process:

WhatsApp is one of the most popular cross-platform messaging tools that is used by a vast majority of people. Even though its recent privacy policy update came as an unpleasant surprise for many people, the user base WhatsApp still holds good and nearly 2 billion people use WhatsApp today. This huge user base has attracted many medium and large-scale businesses to use…

In the time of Covid-19, Social-distancing is an effective way to slow down the transmission of infectious virus. People are advised to minimize their contact with each other to minimize the risk of the disease being transmitted through direct contact. Maintaining a safe distance is a challenge for many places like factories, banks, buses or railway stations, etc.

Truck drivers who transport the cargo and heavy materials over long distances during day and nighttime, they often suffer from a lack of sleep, fatigue, and drowsiness are some of the leading causes of major accidents on Highways. The automobile industry is working on some technologies that can detect the drowsiness and alert the driver about it. Almost 30% of road accidents…

Most of the workplace and commercial buildings today have a CCTV surveillance system installed to monitored the activities. But often times it is hard for the concerned authority or security personals to monitor the live feed of all the cameras continuously to look for suspicious activity. With computer vision and machine learning advancing at a fast phase, it's about time…

Detection of facial landmarks is the process of detecting various parts on the face such as the Eyebrows, Eyes, Nose, Mouth, and Jaw. There are many applications that use Facial Landmark detection techniques.

Previously we build a Face recognition system using OpenCV, today we will use the same OpenCV with Raspberry Pi for facial landmark detection…
