Hello folks,
for my new project, I’m looking for a smart way to detect a photographing smartphone or camera maybe 3 meters around my artwork.
Is there any known way on how to achieve that with a pixy cam?
Any help is very welcome, as I’m very new to this topic …
Kindest regards!
If the smartphones were using a flash I would think you could capture it but beyond that I’m not sure how you could capture a smartphone photographing or not. Phones come in all different sizes and colors.
Maybe it’s possible to detect a person holding a smartphone in some special pose/posture, like these:

Hi Andi,
Pixy can detect colored objects that you teach it. Unfortunately there is no shape recognition (like for recognizing picture-taking posture). Pixy has limited memory onboard, and it’s difficult to implement these sorts of algorithms in that space.
You might try using a webcam and OpenCV (free) - here’s a module that might be trainable for what you’re trying to do: http://docs.opencv.org/master/db/d28/tutorial_cascade_classifier.html#gsc.tab=0
Cheers,

Hey Jesse,
thanks you very much for your answer. I’ll take a look at OpenCV and the module you posted a link to.
Kindest regards!
