h0t_d0g is a state-of-the-art device that solves a pressing issue in our society: hot dog detection. Using a Raspberry Pi 3B+, a Raspberry Pi HQ camera module, and a pretrained convolutional neural network called YOLOv8, we have been able to create a device that can tell you if an object is:
- A hog dog
- NOT a hot dog
The design also features a custom Raspberry Pi hat that includes a button for triggering the camera module, and an OLED screen, LEDs, buzzers, and vibrational motors for indication.
Yes, we are aware this device is similar to a bit from Silicon Valley. Consider this another beautiful example of simultaneous invention.
The setup for the scripts is unfortunately not very straightforward, so we recommend just using a copy of our Raspberry Pi image if you would like to demo the device yourself.
A demo of our device can be seen on YouTube here.
