From Engadget:

A fun application for smart cameras:

students and faculty at the University of South Florida in Tampa have built a computer-powered model that can detect incoming birds and employ non-lethal countermeasures to protect their wards. The Intelligent Scarecrow, as it’s known, was developed to combat the problem of nervey birds trying to feed themselves at the expense of Florida’s $42 million fish farming industry . . . uses a networked camera linked to image recognition software for identifying winged menaces in the vicinity, and attempts to repel them with a mix of annoying sounds and even more annoying blasts of water.
