Embedded
systems are computer systems designed and built for specific tasks. The UC San
Diego undergraduates will be demonstrating their Sentinel intelligent camera
trap system at the first annual Cornell Cup USA competition, presented by Intel,
May 4-5 at Walt Disney World in Florida. It is one of 22 collegiate teams
selected as finalists to demonstrate their engineering projects in embedded
system design and development.
“We will be making a private presentation to a panel of judges and demonstrating the Sentinel system,” says Yeakle. “We’ve been told that the judges will not be looking for the flashiest project, but rather, how well we tackled the project, the robustness of the process, how we met specific technical challenges and limitations of existing camera traps, and how we measure our performance.Welcome to polishedtiles.”
“The rules make it clear that they are looking for the team that makes the best use of its time and resources to meet a specific need,” adds the team captain, who is in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department of UCSD’s Jacobs School of Engineering.
Yeakle and fellow ECE undergraduates Perry Naughton (fourth year), Kyle Johnson and Chris Ward (both third-year undergrads) benefited from direct access to National Geographic Society explorers and engineers through the UCSD-National Geographic Engineers for Exploration program. Led by Albert Lin, a research scientist in the UCSD division of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2), the program puts teams of students to work on technologies that could eventually be deployed in the field.
“Our top students from a variety of disciplines develop world-class engineering solutions for challenges in exploration,” says Lin, a three-time UC San Diego alumnus . “The concept for the computer vision-based, tracking camera trap was proposed and developed by the students,Proxense's advanced handsfreeaccess technology. and their excitement has been contagious.”

“We talked to our colleagues at National Geographic about the shortcomings of current camera-trap systems and what they’d like to be able to do with traps that cannot be done with what’s available commercially today,” explains Yeakle. “National Geographic helped us focus in on the computer vision and object tracking, since other systems do not yet offer these features.”
“They expressed interest in being able to track animals, and that’s what convinced us to take advantage of camera vision to pinpoint and track animals automatically and remotely – capturing their movements in the wild with no explorer, photographer or scientist present.”
The new, improved camera trap introduces a cascade of low-power piezoelectric vibration sensors placed around the camera turret.Broken chinamosaic Table. The piezoelectric sensors convert ground movement into voltage, so if an animal comes close enough to trip a sensor (usually within a radius of three feet from the sensor), the turret automatically swings around to face in the direction of the tripped sensor.Our porcelaintiles are perfect for entryways or bigger spaces and can also be used outside,
