Keep your cat’s prey out of your home with a machine learning trained pet door. Turn your Sureflap cat flap into a smart flap that locks when you cat tries to take prey into your home. Leverage Google Coral Edge TPU to run millisecond inference on infrared images captured on your Raspberry Pi. Object detection is based on TFLite and a MobileNet v1 SSD.

Setup:

Clone this repo on your raspberry and run:

echo "deb https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt coral-edgetpu-stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/coral-edgetpu.list
curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libedgetpu1-std
pip3 install awscli --upgrade --user
aws configure
cp config.yaml ~/.config/mousehunter-edge/config.yaml

Connect motion detector OUT to GPIO8, check pinout to see your layout.

Configure ~/.config/mousehunter-edge/config.yaml with your AWS bucket name and ensure that aws credentials can read the objects in it. Keep APNToken and certfile empty if you do not have it.

bucket: <your AWS S3 bucket>
curfewTime: 15
APNToken: <your Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) Token>
APNToken2: <your 2nd Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) Token>
alertThreshold: 2.0
certfile: <your Apple certificate for APN for APN usage> 

Update WorkingDirectory values for both .service files.

sudo systemctl enable mausjaeger.service
sudo systemctl enable imagewatcher.service
sudo systemctl start mausjaeger.service
sudo systemctl start imagewatcher.service

Retrain your own object detection model:

label you data with labelImg: https://github.com/tzutalin/labelImg

Convert your labeled data to the TFRecord file format, e.g. with https://roboflow.com

Follow the coral.ai tuturials part "Set up the Docker container" on a machine with strong CPU. No GPU is required. https://coral.ai/docs/edgetpu/retrain-detection/#set-up-the-docker-container

Copy your TFRecords to docker/object_detection/data

Configure train_input_reader, eval_input_reader and model.ssd.num_classes the training pipeline:

docker/object_detection/out/ckpt/pipeline.config

Remove all lines following "PREPARING dataset" and execute the script:

docker/object_detection/scripts/prepare_checkpoint_and_dataset.sh

Contine to follow the coral.ai tutorial part "Start training" and "Compile the model for the Edge TPU" Copy the created model to the imagewatcher/model/ folder.
