$8-15 USD / hour

Dear all, I need a bit of ongoing help in setting up a system to count plastic bottles (and possibly other types of plastic) swimming in rivers. The idea is to have a Raspberry Pi with a camera that sits next to a river and increases a counter by one every time a bottle swims by. The goal is to quantify pollution. Existing Hardware: - I have a RaspberryPi 4 at my office, where you can SSH into - Intel Neural Compute Stick 2 - Camera with focus and zoom ([login to view URL]) Suggested Software: - Tensorflow - [login to view URL] - A dataset has been built for this project with 1001 labeled images, however, it might some extra thinking/rework Skills desired: - First Experience in Raspberry Pi - First Experience with Tensorflow/Machine Learning - ideally, a bit of interest in environmental topics/protection Ideally also: - able to start relatively quickly - should document all steps in Github - should join us in our Slack Notes: - This is a non-profit project Please see our reviews from happy partners of us :) We are proud to work with amazing people from all over the world since over 10 years now - follow up work is usually available. :-) We hire for the long term and develop and coach our partners over time - and we always have an open ear for your feedback and wishes. Bidding will stay open for about 24 hours. We hope to have sparked your interest and hope to hear from you very soon! :-)

Hi. This sounds like a cool usage of machine learning. I actually think that I have another use case for the software, I can mount a GoPro to my road bike and take video. One could use the software to count the amount of plastic along the road and well quantify pollution. Today, I noticed a few as I had already read your project description. Enough digression. I have worked 5 fears as an enterprise software developer, and am currently trying to reinvent myself as a freelancer. I have experience using Raspberry Pis and with tensorflow (I have used tensorflow in a few projects). I am not familiar with the Intel Compute Stick. However, my expectation is that one has less power than a full GPU. So there will be some issues in getting everything to run fast enough. I would start this project by using a simple neural net, that can decide "Does this image contain a plastic bottle?" Such a net can be trained with the available images and should be done within two days, with an additional day or two to get it running on RasPi + Compute Stick. Afterwards, one can move on to implement a more sophisticated neural net that allows localization and tracking of the bottle and thus proper counting. I look forward to hearing from you, Helge Krueger

Hello.. I am happy to see your projects. My master degree was in computer vision and indeed help you with this. I worked with Tensorflow before.. bt for your special requirements I think writing custom code from scratch or even using openCV is more suitable. I love that type of work, but still worry that my rate may not be suitable for your budget. I bidded with my minimum rate I worked with the last 2 years. Hopefully we can still go.

Hi. I am Shaheryar a Computer vision and machine learning engineer. I have a Raspberry pi 4 with 4GB RAM with me on which I am doing groceries products objects detection counting for developing an Autonomous checkout system. This is a project in which I am working with a UK based client. Point of telling this is that I have experience in such task plus I also have raspberry pi 4 setted up locally here .So I guess we can be useful for each other. I am willing to work in this task of bottle counting with you. Skills I am familiar with : Tensorflow Tensorflow-Lite specially made for boosting performance in Raspberry Pi opencv github Raspberry Pi

Hello, I am an expert in computer vision and deep learning. I have worked on raspberry pi, and object detection and counting. I am working on a startup(just started making a website) so I have a team of students whom I have taught stuff myself and are equally proficient, because of this we will be able to work at relatively lower price, can start immediately and are very professional and always available to help even after the project. Personally I am also interested in this project because it is environmental and non -profit. I would request you to contact me with further details and I promise to deliver product with good results. Regards
