Good Dog Capture: Pet Detection Camera

Spots your dog on the webcam and saves a snapshot

1-2 weeks build

Overview

A home pet camera that runs a COCO-pretrained YOLOv8 model on the webcam and saves a snapshot whenever a dog appears, with a cooldown so it does not fill the disk. A small Flask gallery shows the day's photos, and an optional step fine-tunes on the Oxford-IIIT Pet dataset so it can name the breed as well.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Dog detection from a COCO-pretrained model
  • 02Cooldown and best-frame selection to avoid near-duplicates
  • 03Web gallery of snapshots grouped by day
  • 04Optional breed labels from Oxford-IIIT Pet fine-tuning
  • 05Runs on a laptop or a Raspberry Pi with a USB camera

Module breakdown

  1. 01

    Detection loop

    Webcam frames through YOLOv8 filtered to dogs.

  2. 02

    Capture logic

    Cooldown, sharpness check and saving.

  3. 03

    Breed model

    Optional fine-tuned breed classifier.

  4. 04

    Gallery

    Flask page with daily snapshot grid.

  5. 05

    Deployment

    Setup guide for laptop and Raspberry Pi.

After this, you will be able to

  • Explain how a pretrained detector is filtered to one class
  • Defend your cooldown and frame selection choices
  • Demo the camera snapping your dog or a toy dog
