Applied Machine Learning #1 - Counting Your Chickens

In this session I'll walk you through a solution, built for the UK's leading chicken farmer, which allows a picture to be taken of the chickens, after they have been locked in their barn for the night. An ML app then analysis the image and counts the number of chickens in the image, therefore providing the customer with a daily count of his livestock, something that they've never had before.

I'll also show you how I use machine vision to processes the images and I'll present they ways in which I amended the K-Nearest Neighbour algorithm in order to implement this solution.
