Speaker: Neil Kazimierz Sheridan Talk Title: Machine vision solutions to human-elephant conflict.
My talk is about my elephant detection system, which was a winner of the 2016 Hackaday Prize concept round. The system is completely open-source and uses machine-vision algorithm to detect elephants (OpenCV for Python) from photos before they launch their crop-raiding missions, so villagers have time to scare the elephants.
