Sorry for only replying now. Thanks for your replies. I think I confused myself with all the info I gathered and I must tell you that I have no experience in this field. I did look at the first link and tried to get VOC working on my Win 7 64bit with Matlab 2011a, but most of the files seems to be in Unix format so I cannot get it working to play around with it. Forgot to say that the video will be from a static camera and will have to identify the animal as it walks past.

Thanks for your reply. I will try to explain a little bit better. I’m looking at creating a device that can be used to identify certain animals from live video. I’m not to worried about the device itself, but the actual software that does the identification is where I need your advice. Animals will come into view of this device and then the software should identify which type of animal it is. There will only be about 5 animals that needs to be identified. For instance, a lion comes into view and base on that a certain action needs to be perform, or when a Leopard comes into view a different action needs to be performed.

Hope this helps. Regards

Hi. I have no idea what I'm getting myself into, but here goes. I need to create a device that can identify an animal from a live video feed. The video will be at a static point and as soon as the animal steps into the line of sight, I need to identify which type of animal it is. The type of animals that needs to be identified will be limited, max 5 for now. Hope this makes sense?? I know so little about this stuff that I potentially will also be looking for someone to do the work for me. This device will be for commercial use. Can someone please point me in a direction. Thanks
