Creating a real-life @Pokemon Pokedex using #Python, #DeepLearning, a Raspberry Pi, camera module, and 7” touch screen @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi
A Pokedex is a fictional device from the world of Pokemon (I was/still am a huge Pokemon nerd) and allows the end user to:
Point it at a Pokemon (animal-like creatures), presumably using some sort of camera
And automatically identify the Pokemon, providing detailed information on the creature
You can therefore think of a Pokedex as a smart phone application that (1) accesses your camera and (2) recognizes animals/creatures in real-time.
In order to identify Pokemon we trained a Convolutional Neural Network using Keras — this model is capable of correctly identifying Pokemon in images and video streams.
The model was then deployed to a mobile app using Keras, CoreML, and iOS to create an actual “Pokedex app”.
But why stop there?
Long-time readers of the PyImageSearch blog know that I love the Raspberry Pi…

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
