First time I've seen a .cam TLD, makes me think that they might be used a lot for phishing - without thinking I typed in skybot.com instead of "cam"

And if you choose something that ends with an "s" your domain ends with "s.cam".

Feels like I'm saying the domain in a Cartman-esque accent.

Project Not Found

Sorry, the overhead-plane-detector dataset does not exist, has been deleted, or is not shared with you.

Uh oh! Is this when trying to get the project info via our REST API (or pip package) for custom training?

I’m working on getting that working with Universe shared projects ASAP but the Jupyter notebook link should work with our training notebooks in the meantime.

Edit: I should mention that inference against the trained api on this project also should work A-Ok already.

It's on Azure, so maybe it uses the same permissions nightmare as Teams.

Would love to tweak something like this to detect parcel delivery vehicles in our neighborhood. Anyone know of such a project they can link to?
[+] yeldarb|4 years ago|reply
I haven’t seen one specifically for parcel delivery vehicles yet. Users have shared package[1] and vehicle[2] projects on Universe.

You could likely use the car detection model as a base to collect photos and bootstrap a collection of delivery truck images. We’re working on enabling users to contribute additional images to these datasets as well.

Creating these custom detectors is what Roboflow is built for (and it’s free if you open source the dataset you create for others to build off of).

Not sure about the detection part.. I setup a raspberry pi w/camera behind the peephole in my front door. I use the motion project[0] to do motion detection and recording of activity on my porch - the stream or photos from motion could be sent to some kind of detection (where presumably you'd train your own model from your own source photos of trucks or packages).

What’s with all the “Bank of <bank name> Trustee” jets?

The US has a relatively weird structure where trusts are one of the best ways to meet the FAA's requirements for ownership while also hiding certain ownership details: https://www.hef.ru.nl/~pfk/aircraftGalleries/organisation-Ai...

Most of the time you see it used is when a lessor has taken an aircraft back from an airline after the lease has ended for some reason, and it becomes a holding structure until the aircraft is leased again to another operator. The financials of airliner operation make it feasible for most airlines to have a mixed fleet of owned and leased aircraft.

But in this case Wilmington Trust is a fairly large aircraft lessor in its own right: https://library.wilmingtontrust.com/corporate-institutional/... and https://centreforaviation.com/data/profiles/lessors/wilmingt...

For instance here's an Airbus A350 that was used by LATAM, then returned to Wilmington during the COVID-19 drawdown of flying, and is being taken into service by Delta: https://www.planespotters.net/airframe/airbus-a350-900-n982d...

This is actually a flaw in the tracker's logic though, in that it's probably using an outdated data source that's still showing that intermediary registration holder rather than the current operator.

Ultra rich people that hide their identities through anonymous bank entities. They are totally not the people that really rule the world rather than the politicians that most people think are in charge.

Its also one of the reasons that despite private planes being one of the biggest contributors to climate change nothing will ever be done about it. Those rich people love their freedom to hop around anywhere in the world at a moments notice.

Super cool project. I was thinking about doing something similar at one time but I was too lazy.

Could you listen the audio to detect the cargo load? At least within categories (light/middle/heavy)?

I assume that one can triangulate the exact position of the house of the author from the pictures.
