In case you’ve been waiting for an update, I apologize for the delay! Let’s dive into the numbers. At the time of writing, I’ve used my custom detection and classification pipeline to go through 115 images, identifying 202 birds (a category which now includes squirrels 😅). Of these, 45% were correctly detected. There were 25…

At the end of last week’s post, I mentioned that I had spent significant time on compiling training data for bird classification.

In 2020 and then in 2022, AJ and I adopted our two kittens – Kitkat and Moochie. We’d just moved into our first real home, and the back porch overlooked a natural area with tall trees and constant bird song. To keep the kitties entertained while we spent our days at work, I set up…
