Monitoring the behaviours of pet cat based on YOLO model and raspberry Pi

Abstract

With the progress of the times and the rapid development of science and technology, machine learning and artificial intelligence are increasingly used in transportation, logistics, and homes. In terms of pets, pet monitoring has also become very popular in recent years. In this study, a real-time monitoring system for home pets using raspberry pie is developed. The proposed method consists of a raspberry Pi based YOLOv3-Tiny identification system for rapid detection and better boundary frame prediction of the cat behavior. Based on the YOLOv3-Tiny method, the following fine-tuning is implemented:(1) The images collected using the mobile phones are uniformly cropped to 416*416 pixels. (2) The images were captured in different periods and randomly rotated to plus or minus 20 degrees to make the dataset more robust for training. (3) One thousand four hundred pictures of the cat's movements in the room for marking and training are used. The dataset is also used to train the YOLOv3 model. According to the input image categories, the results of the output are categorized into six cat actions. They were sleeping, eating, sitting down, walking, going to the toilet, and search for a trash can. The average accuracy of both models was 98%. Based on environmental constraints like speed and memory consumption, any one of these models can be used for image recognition. The raspberry Pi system continuously captures the images and instantly sends a message to the registered mobile phone to achieve an instant preventive measure if the cat goes to the toilet for too long or flips through the trash can.

Eye Aspect Ratio for Real-Time Drowsiness Detection to Improve Driver Safety

“…Overall, the output samples may be divided into three categories. The samples that were correctly identified are referred to as true positives (TP), the samples that had the wrong identification are referred to as false positives (FP), and the samples that were correctly not recognized are referred to as true negatives (TN) [51,52]. Precision (P) and recall (R) are represented by [53,54] in Equations ( 3) and ( 4).…”

Enhanced Pet Behavior Prediction via S2GAN-Based Heterogeneous Data Synthesis

“…Bleuer-Elsner et al mounted cameras on the ceiling of their experimental space to automatically identify dogs exhibiting attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder behavior [6]. Chen et al predicted six behavior patterns, including walking, sitting, sleeping, and eating, using Yolov3-based extraction [5]. Moreover, research on predicting behavior through pose estimation is being conducted.…”

“…Despite the introduction of various pet IoT devices and advancements in AI technology enabling precise predictions and analyses of pet behavior, the development of comprehensive models for predicting pet behavior still requires further research. Most previous studies have relied on data collected in limited spaces or have analyzed only simple behaviors [5][6][7]; they do not adequately consider the actual size and diversity of pets' living spaces and have limitations in reflecting the diversity and complexity of pet behavior.…”

Smart Glass System Using Deep Learning for the Blind and Visually Impaired

“…In recent years, artificial intelligence and deep learning approaches are rapidly entering all areas, including autonomous vehicle systems [49,50], robotics, space exploration, medicine, pet and animal monitoring systems [51], and areas that start with the word smart, such as smart city, smart home, smart agriculture, etc. Computer vision and artificial intelligence methods play a key role in the development of smart glass systems.…”
