Planning page for the IRCam project, for a hackable, dual-webcam, Raspberry Pi-based point-and-shoot camera. Framing: ?garden cam?, educational, on-the-ground point-and-shoot
Although our use case would primarily be aerial, we should frame the IRCam as a primarily on-the-ground, simple point and shoot camera, and that rather than position it as a niche product for grassroots mappers, we should recast it as a simple camera that lets you see how healthy plants are. This means that our primary audience would potentially be home gardeners, and I see that as a great opportunity to reach a less-geeky, less technical demographic.
The main idea though is to imagine a gardener seeing this, rather than an engineer. How can we appeal to that large demographic? Wouldn't it be nice to have lots of gardeners and farmers in addition to all the techies we already attract? Scott Eustis said something really interesting to me, which was that regulators treat NRG imagery like "the tea leaves", i.e. anyone can walk in with a Google map these days, but somehow NRG is a language of power for coastal management. I'd love to talk about that in the KS pitch.
Quick links
The idea is that for relatively low cost ($60) we could make a "hacker's camera" with both infrared and regular webcams built around a raspberry pi, which when you take a picture, auto-composites the two images into NDVI and NRG. So you're left with an SD card with precomposited images, as if it were a regular digital camera. For basic use, it's dead simple -- its a point and shoot camera that takes infrared composites. Later, we could add all sorts of other functionality:
Case designCase will probably be approx 3"x5"x2". There could be several cases:
All 4 might have built-in eye-bolts for hanging from a camera and/or building a Picavet suspension. To-do/Questions

Later, we could add all sorts of other functionality: * auto-timelapse/intervalometer - 10 second auto-triggering * put it in a waterproof box for a DIY GoPro add a mini USB wifi dongle and watch the video feed live from your phone/laptop * add corner eyebolts for an easy Picavet suspension * make an easy scripting system - put any python script in the /scripts/ folder, or even make a web-based editor on the WiFi network a href https://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffreywarren/8412812124/ title IRCam draft box by jeferonix, on Flickr > img src https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8323/8412812124_d0472718ed.jpg width 500 height 375 alt IRCam draft box > /a> ###Case design Case will probably be approx 3 x5 x2 . There could be several cases: * a PRINTed and die-cut cardboard case for the early-shipping DIY kit * an injection-molded or 3d-PRINTable plastic case for the more finished camera * a shockproof and waterproof case comparable to a GoPro * a splash resistant and buoyant case All 3 might have built-in eye-bolts for hanging from a camera and/or building a Picavet suspension. ###To-do/Questions * What is the status of the Pi Camera?

The idea is that for relatively low cost ($60) we could make a "hacker's camera" with both infrared and regular webcams built around a raspberry pi, which when you take a picture, auto-composites the two images into NDVI and NRG. So you're left with an SD card with precomposited images, as if it were a regular digital camera. For basic use, it's dead simple -- its a point and shoot camera that takes infrared composites. Later, we could add all sorts of other functionality:
Case designCase will probably be approx 3"x5"x2". There could be several cases:
All 3 might have built-in eye-bolts for hanging from a camera and/or building a Picavet suspension. |
