Smart Fishing Rod
Overview
The Smart Fishing Rod revolutionizes the fishing experience by incorporating cutting-edge IoT technology to optimize angler performance and enjoyment. Designed for precision and ease, this smart device integrates advanced sensors and real-time data analytics to offer insights into your fishing activities.
Key Features
- Precision Bite Detection:
Utilizes a tachometer to detect fish bites accurately, increasing the chance of a successful catch.
- Cast Distance Measurement:
Employs the same high-accuracy tachometer to measure the distance of each cast, allowing anglers to fine-tune their casting techniques.
- Fish Species Identification:
Features a multi-class object detection algorithm that identifies up to 31 different fish species with over 80% accuracy using a built-in camera system.
- Real-time Data Streaming:
Streams video and data to an AWS cloud server in real-time, enabling dynamic fish tracking and data analytics at any time.
