“CowDefender” leopard detector

Using A.I to help farmers protect their cows.

During my last product testing visit to the farmers based in rural India, I visited one of the cow farms and noticed this cage near to the young cows.

When we asked what it was, we were told it was a leopard trap.
It turns out that many Indian farms have a big problem with leopards coming in the day and night to take young cows and farm dogs.

Unfortunately, the leopards were too smart to be trapped, so I decided to think about how we could help the farmers.

CowDefender is an A.I. powered IoT camera that protects cow herds from leopard attacks. Alerts are sent to the farmer whenever a leopard is detected, allowing them to sound the alarm and ward off the leopard.

Detection is done on device in real-time, utilising a custom trained YOLO8 Tensorflow lite model and the latest machine learning edge technology.
Featuring an ultra low-light camera, CowDefender can detect leopards even at night, when attacks are most common.
