I want to build an IP camera based door security system and object segmentation system. Although the system does not seem to be too complex but running it off a raspberry pi seems to be difficult. Problem Statement Set up an IP camera or raspberry pi camera to capture a video feed from the front door. Run an object detection and possibly an image segmentation program on the video feed. Based on the presence of a moving object store the relevant clip of footage to a permanent storage device, keeping storage requirements small, and notify about the same (though IFTTT or email). Solutions There are 2 ways to go about solving this problem: Solution 1 Capture the video footage at 30fps and run the object detection or image segmentation at only 2-5fps . This way I won't be losing relevant information and I can also reduce the load drastically on the image processing system. A drawback here, is that there has to be a deterministic way to grab the 2 or 5 frames on which computer vision mu...
