About TV Commercial Detector + Switch for Sports Bars
Neural network that detects TV commercial breaks and switches audio output.
If you've ever been to a sports bar during a big game, you'll notice often they play music during commercial breaks so people don't have to listen to commercials. Almost always it's a human being manually switching the audio feed. Sometimes it's one of the bartenders, other times there is a hired DJ for this sole purpose. With the help of a neural network engineer I built a prototype on a Raspberry Pi 3 that is quite effective at automating this task. The program is trained with 80 gb of labelled audio data from TV commercials and sporting events (this data is available as well). Using audio only, the program analyzes incoming data from a live feed, making a decision on when to switch audio output based on a minimum confidence threshold that a commercial break has started or ended.
Project details
Built with: Python,Neural Network
Next step: <p>Someone with experience bringing hardware products to market will find that sports bars would be happy to pay for this.</p>
For sale
Asking price: $5,000 USD
What's included
All related data, Source code
You will get the physical prototype on RPi 3 as well.
Reason for selling
After building the working prototype, I realized I didn't have the time or resources to mass produce these as sellable products. I put it on the shelf hoping I'd eventually be able to develop it, but that still may not be for some time. If someone else has the skills and motivation to bring this to life, then that should happen.
