      There was no audio in the clip, right? I'm just wondering if the barking sound had much of an effect? Did the barking begin immediately once the identification occurred (roughly at 17 secs)? Clearly the balls got its attention. I suspect most types of motion would be effective, but the shooting balls are just cool. I guess you just pluck the balls out of your skimmer and reload, right?

      Again, very nice!

      Whiffle balls! Ha! That's so cool! Love it. I'm surprised the first ball didn't make it fly away. You have a real heron problem there. I really like your solution. That's fun.

      Sorry, my camera doesn't have audio recording, but you can see when the birds head pops up is when the sound was triggered. Unfortunately, sound alone was not good enough. Even one ball + sound didn't get him to fly away. But, the second ball did the trick!

      Yes, simple solution. Here is ball shooter I'm using. Just had to rewire it a bit to connect to network for automated firing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

      I watched the video eagerly awaiting the laser guided heron blaster to engage and see a poof of feathers on camera.
      The real Batman wears polyester! Don't be fooled by the plastic imposter.

      Me too. I think you need to include this into your design: https://www.instructables.com/Raspbe...irsoft-Turret/

      Please tell us more

      Matias

      This is awesome.

      I would love to have a go t this myself in some way / shape, or form. (I appreciate there may be some parts, e.g. the Heron dataset / the "model") which might be confidential, but .. I'd love to know more.

      What "power" does your laptop (i.e. AI server) have ? - Does it need any fancy GPU capability ?

      I guess, if I were to try it, I could (potentially) train a model using heron images from Google OpenImages ( true ?).

      If the model were compact enough, could it (potentially) run on a smaller computer, e.g. Rasperry PI ?.

      Cheers - Mark

      I have the same issue as the OP. A heron is stealing all my fish in my pond.
      I tried several deterrent methods, but they only work temporary.
      My goal is to implement something like: homeassistant + frigate nvr (https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate).
      Based on detection I can use some automations to switch on lights and make noise.

      Would you mind sharing some more info on how you trained the model?
      I'm in the process of training a model myself.
      I got a lot of pictures from google, created the boundingboxes with labelimg.
      In total I have about 400 pictures I use for the training at a resolution of 300x300.
      On a jetson nano I did the retraining for mobilenet ssd(https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-i...pytorch-ssd.md).

      Detection is working when my images are 300x300 with a heron inside it. However when I feed it a full hd video, the heron is not recognized.
      Probably I'm missing something and I hope you could give some pointers on how to start a decent training.

      Excellent job matiasklein, you inspired me.
I have been looking for something similar for a long time.
      Fallowing your indication I also tried something similar using YOLOV5 and training free pictures (about 258) in Google Colab.
