Would it be possible to use the opencv library to detect birds, and more specifically blue herons?
I would love to hang a wifi camera somewhere in the garden, and whenever a blue heron lands in the garden, a system should detect this and act appropriately (eg make noise). But when an adult or child is walking in the garden, the system should not react.
Will opencv be able to help me with my goal? If yes, will the camera be able to detect a blue heron from a distance (I guess that the bird will not land in front of the camera, but can land in a circle of 10 to 20m from the camera)?
Tx for your help.
