Installing a little door in, well, your main door can be a great way to allow your pets to come and go as they please, but sometimes leads to unwanted visitors too. Petvation is looking to change that with the help of AI facial recognition and a mobile app.
在你的大门里安装一扇小门是让你的宠物随心所欲地来来去去的好方法，但有时也会导致不想要的访客。Petvation希望借助AI面部识别和移动应用程序来改变这种状况。
You may already have a little entry in your door that only gives access to your cats or dogs, but that likely means your pets will have to wear some sort of “key” on a collar to identify them and unlock the pet door. And these can be somewhat heavy. Therefore, considerate Petvation developers have developed a smart pet door without a “key”. They make use of the face recognition technology that has already been applied to our smartphones and computers to ensure that access to the home is only given to authorized(批准) family members.
你的门上可能已经有一个小入口，只允许你的猫或狗进入，但这可能意味着你的宠物将不得不在项圈上佩戴某种 “钥匙” 来识别它们并打开宠物门。这些可能有点重。因此，体贴的宠物开发人员开发了一种没有 “钥匙” 的智能宠物门。他们利用已经应用于我们的智能手机和电脑的人脸识别技术来确保只允许授权的家庭成员进入家庭。
However, the developers recognize that identifying and authorizing animal faces is more challenging than with humans, and therefore employ multiple-image full-body animal recognition. The AI model is expected to be continuously improved over time for better accuracy. And in addition to identifying cats and dogs, the system can also recognize all kinds of animals, so the entry point will remain firmly closed to unwanted guests.
然而，开发人员认识到识别和授权动物面孔比人类更具挑战性，因此采用多图像全身动物识别。人工智能模型有望随着时间的推移不断改进，以获得更好的准确性。除了识别猫和狗之外，该系统还可以识别各种动物，因此入口点将对不想要的客人保持牢固的关闭。
The company says that three independent safety mechanisms(机制) are employed to “keep your pet safe from head to tail.” First, sensors detect and monitor the cats or dogs as they approach and pass through. There’s also a light anti-pinch(防夹) mechanism in place to ensure that tails aren’t caught in a descending door. And finally the system checks all sensors during operation and will enter a safe mode if issues are detected, and inform the human in charge through a mobile app that the Petvation needs some attention.
该公司表示，采用了三种独立的安全机制来 “保护您的宠物从头到尾的安全”。首先，传感器在猫或狗接近和经过时检测和监控它们。还有一个轻微的防夹机制，以确保尾巴不会被夹在下降的门上。最后，系统会在操作过程中检查所有传感器，如果发现问题，系统将进入安全模式，并通过移动应用程序通知负责人需要注意。
That app is also used for setup and control, including the ability to give access to specific household pets and keep track of the comings and goings of pets. The door can also be opened or closed remotely from within the app.
该应用程序还用于设置和控制，包括允许访问特定的家庭宠物并跟踪宠物的来来往往的功能。门也可以在应用程序内远程打开或关闭。
