MotCam detecting 100% F5B planes on bad weather conditions Álvaro Silgado 2017-05-10 | This is my software MotCam detecting a F5B passing at high speed, far and near. It's only detecting planes crossing from left to right, ignoring the ones on opposite direction.Thank you very much Steve Burns from the video, it's really illustrative.
MotCam software activating a relay Álvaro Silgado 2017-05-10 | This is my MotCam software activating a relay when a detection is done. It opens the relay and closes it 0.5 seconds later.This allows using signalling, turning lights on and off, activating loud buzzers, or turning external devices on and off.
MotCam test on F5D training day Álvaro Silgado 2017-04-30 | This video has been generated by my MotCam software by feeding it with another video generated by MotCam on F5D test field.The result is an almost 100% of the detections done. Only one pass couldn’t be detected, on second 0:14. The lack of detection is because a problem on the video I received. On this video the plane stays frozen on the same position for 4 or 5 frames, and then “jumps” ahead. So it is a non-valid trajectory for the program.But the object is tracked perfectly until it “stops suddenly”.There are 3 cars at the base of the image that are detected too! (00:02). Camera should be raised a few mm to avoid recording the ground!
MotCam test on training day Álvaro Silgado 2017-04-20 | New tests with the MotCam. This time, the video is from outside the detecting camera, so you can see how it's detected and hear it buzzing. It could be faster, since I was also recording the video with the detecting PC, but I think it's good enough.The delay buzzing is 3 frames, but try to do a "honest buzzing" by snapping the fingers when the plane is in front of the camera to see if you are faster than it 😀
MotCam test on F3F competition Álvaro Silgado 2017-04-20 | This is MotCam, my my development for planes motion detection, tested on a real F3F competition. The result is fantastic, 100% of success detecting planes and 100% of success ignoring artifacts, clouds moving, sun appearing and disappearing, and bees buzzing around.This is a "honest" editing, I left the parts where a plane is appearing and cut the rest. The delay on detection is between 2 and 4 frames. As I was analysing 75 frames per second, the delay on detection was about 50-75 milliseconds, much faster than human reaction.I was very lucky because I found a bug. Not a computer bug, but a real one buzzing in the same direction than the plane. It can be seen on minute 1:04 of the video (pay attention, it’s only appearing on 3 frames!). The software detects it, but it decides it is not a “compatible trajectory”, so it ignores it. There's another bug on minute 1:08, but it flies on the opposite direction and it's ignored quickly.
