An interactive box that uses AI to identify insects placed inside it.
- Raspberry Pi (with WiFi capability for software updates and AI model improvements)
- AI-Powered Camera Module (compatible with Raspberry Pi)
- LED Lights (for proper illumination of the insects)
- Removable and Rechargeable Battery Pack
- LED Screen (to display the identified insect's name and information)
- Graphical User Interface (GUI) for easy interaction
- Removable SD Card (for image storage)
- Enclosure Box (with a compartment for inserting insects)
- Basic electronic components (wires, resistors, switches)
-
Design and Build the Enclosure:
- Create a child-friendly, safe box with a compartment to insert insects.
- Install LED lights inside the compartment for proper illumination.
-
Set Up the Raspberry Pi:
- Install the Raspberry Pi OS and configure it for the project.
- Ensure WiFi connectivity for software updates.
-
Camera Module Integration:
- Connect the AI-Powered Camera Module to the Raspberry Pi.
- Develop or integrate an existing AI model for insect identification.
-
LED Screen and GUI Development:
- Connect the LED screen to display the results of the insect identification.
- Design and implement a simple GUI that children can interact with, displaying information about the identified insect.
-
Power Management:
- Integrate the removable and rechargeable battery pack to power the box.
- Include a charging mechanism and battery level indicator on the GUI.
-
Image Capture and Storage:
- Program the system to capture a series of images once an insect is inserted.
- Analyze the images and save the optimal ones on the removable SD card.
-
Testing and Validation:
- Conduct thorough testing to ensure the accuracy of insect identification.
- Validate the user interface and overall user experience with children.
-
Documentation and Safety Measures:
- Create user-friendly documentation explaining how to use the Insect Identification Box.
- Implement safety measures to ensure the box is safe for children to use.
-
Final Assembly:
- Assemble all components inside the enclosure.
- Perform final testing to ensure everything works as intended.
-
Deployment:
- Deploy the Insect Identification Box for educational purposes in schools, museums, or at home.
