Captures spontaneous moments triggered by above average room noise.
Using a Raspberry Pi Zero W and a PS3 EYE pictures are taken when peak noise in the room is above average. Letting everyone sit back and relax , not having to worry about having their phone out to capture the right moment.
Using Raspberry pi Cam V2 now

Prototype:

  • Raspberry Pi Zero W
  • PS3 EYE for mic and camera ( can use what ever you want)
  • Python skill: PyAudio, audioo, pygame

Average room noise is calculated by capturing the rms with audioo.
If a new rms value is greater than the average rms by a percentage as picture capture.

TODO:

  • Have a floating threshold for when to capture the picture
  • Have it take picture or videos on voice command
  • Only take picture if there are faces
  • Take pictures when 80% > of the people in the room are smiling.
  • daemonize and work on startup
  • Upload to external service and delete images of Pi

  • 1 × Raspberry pi Zero W
  • 1 × Raspberry pi Cam v2
  • 1 × PS3 EYE used for mic and camera (Only Mic now)
