🚁 Hornet attack detection

Background​

Hornets, especially asian hornets, are a menace to the bee colony. Without human intervention, colony can die.

Goal​

We want to build hornet detector AI model watching the hive entrance and alert the beekeeper in such cases.

Suggested steps​

  • take an existing dataset and/or model, like one present in

https://universe.roboflow.com/search?q=hornet

  • alternatively, collect dataset yourself
  • train a model

Integration​

  • We want to run inference on 10 sec mp4 chunks of videos
  • We also want to be able to detect hornets in real-time over webcam, for example as part of yolo v8 with cv2

Alerts​

Here is an example from japanese university:
