OpenDataCam 2.0 – An open source tool to quantify the world

Category Environment Members Python People , , , , , Posted on:

The team behind the OpenDataCam have just released a version 2.0 of their open source tool to quantify the world. As already reported on CAN last year, OpenDataCam consists of a camera attached to a mini computer that is running an object detection algorithm that counts and tracks moving objects. The board is equipped with a GPU (graphical processing unit), which allows it to process many parallel image threads at once. Great tool for image analysis and video processing.
