Getting comfortable
Yes, but we all appreciate it!An update to my VorlonCD mod:
- Maybe fix dupe image issues sigh
We would not have this wonderful tool if not for GentlePumpkin, and it wouldn't be so awesome if not for your efforts as well as the work of others such as @classObject.
I had done all that I could to reduce false alerts but they were still annoying me. I used multiple cameras with 6mm lenses set up to view only important areas instead of wide angle lenses that capture trees and bushes that blow in the wind, along with AB>C unidirectional zone crossing and optimization of motion detection settings. But I was still getting false alerts from ground shadows as trees blew in the wind, from the movement of clouds overhead on sunny days, and a lot of false alerts at night due to bugs flying around the camera.
Most of the false alerts have been eliminated with AI. I rarely ever get a false alert from bugs flying around the camera at night, but one time AI thought that a wasp on the lens was a bear. It also detected a small bush in my yard as a person, but the bush needed trimming anyway. Since the trim there's been no false detections.
I believe that some of the previous work that I had done to eliminate false alerts such as using narrower lenses than normal, placing the cameras closer to the subject, mounting the cameras relatively low, and using auxiliary IR illuminators instead of the built in IR LEDs where appropriate has helped with my AI success. AI acts on what it sees so feeding it a better image can lead to better results. AI isn't an instant fix for a sloppy camera setup.
Again, I would like to express my appreciation for all the work that has been put into AI Tool and for making my life a little easier!
