## Job Title Computer Vision Engineer: Custom Multi-Camera Kitchen Automation System (YOLO + Cloud Sync) ## Job Description## Project Overview We operate a commercial kitchen with 8 cooking stations and are looking to build a custom, hands-free quality control system. The goal is to automatically capture a 3-second video clip every time a cook adds a new ingredient into a cooking pot or pan. To make this highly accurate and lightweight, we are standardizing our prep containers. Cooks will transfer ingredients into uniform, highly visible, color-coded prep bowls. The AI needs to track these specific containers, detect when they hover and tilt over a cooking zone, crop a 3-second video clip (1 second before the tilt, 2 seconds after), and upload it to a cloud dashboard. ## System Architecture & Hardware * Inputs: 8 Overhead PoE (Power over Ethernet) Dome Cameras mounted directly above 8 separate cooking stations. * Local Compute: 1 Central Edge AI Server/PC (equipped with a high-end NVIDIA GPU, e.g., RTX 4000 series) processing the 8 live streams simultaneously. * Output: Short 3-second compressed video clips sent directly to a cloud storage bucket. * Frontend: A simple, mobile-friendly web dashboard where management can view clips sorted by Station # and Time/Date. ## Key Responsibilities * Set up the multi-camera RTSP streaming pipeline to the central local processing machine. * Develop and train an object detection/action segmentation model (preferably using YOLOv8/YOLOv10 or similar light models) to identify our specific prep bowls and detect the "tilting/pouring" action. * Implement a rolling video buffer logic that extracts exactly 3 seconds of video surrounding the detected action trigger. * Build the Edge-to-Cloud pipeline to upload compressed video fragments efficiently to a secure cloud platform (AWS S3, Google Cloud, or Azure). * Build a clean, lightweight frontend interface (using tools like Retool, Streamlit, or a basic React app) for cloud video playback. ## Required Skills * Deep expertise in Computer Vision and Deep Learning (Python, OpenCV, PyTorch/TensorFlow). * Extensive experience with real-time object detection models (YOLO workflow is highly preferred). * Proven track record building multi-camera RTSP video pipelines and handling edge processing hardware (NVIDIA Jetson or GPU workstations). * Cloud architecture experience (AWS S3 / Lambda or Google Cloud equivalents). * Experience with video encoding and compression (FFmpeg) to minimize cloud storage costs. ## Project Type & Budget * Project Type: One-time project with potential for ongoing retainer/maintenance contracts. * Budget: Flexible / Competitive based on experience and proposed timeline. * Please include links to any previous computer vision or video-processing projects you have built in your proposal.

This is a strong use case for edge AI, especially because you’re standardizing the bowls. That makes the detection problem much more realistic than trying to infer every ingredient by itself. I’d build the first version around one or two stations first: RTSP ingest, rolling buffer, bowl detection, tilt/pour trigger, 3-second clip extraction, compression, upload, and dashboard playback. Once the trigger is reliable, scaling to all 8 stations is mostly a pipeline/performance problem. For the model, I’d use YOLO for the bowl detection and add a lightweight action layer based on position, angle, motion, and cooking-zone overlap. If needed, we can fine-tune on your kitchen footage so the system learns the exact bowls, lighting, camera angle, and station layout. The edge server can run all streams locally, then only upload the short clips to S3/GCS/Azure to keep bandwidth and storage costs under control. The dashboard can stay simple: station, date/time, clip preview, filters, and download/open actions. A few things I’d confirm early: 1. Are the prep bowls already chosen, or can we help choose colors/shapes that are easiest to detect? 2. Do you have sample overhead footage from the actual kitchen? 3. Which cloud platform do you prefer for storage and dashboard access? Regards, Houssame

Hi there, I’ve worked on real-time computer vision pipelines where multiple video streams are processed simultaneously for event detection, so the core challenge here—multi-camera sync, low-latency inference, and precise event-based clipping—is very familiar. Main risk in systems like this is timing accuracy between detection and video buffer extraction. With YOLO-based detection on 8 RTSP streams, even small latency drift can cause clips to miss the actual “action window” unless the buffering and inference timestamps are tightly synchronized at the edge layer. I’d build this as an edge-first pipeline: RTSP ingestion → GPU-based YOLO inference per stream → timestamped event triggers → rolling circular buffer (FFmpeg/OpenCV) that captures exactly 3 seconds around the detected tilt action → compressed clip export and async upload to S3/Cloud Storage. A lightweight dashboard (React or Streamlit) would then index clips by station and time for quick review. Have experience building video processing systems involving OpenCV, real-time inference pipelines, and edge GPU optimization where latency and frame accuracy were critical. I can deliver a stable multi-camera system with accurate event-based clipping, optimized GPU usage, and a simple cloud dashboard for reviewing all generated clips in near real time.

I understand you need a computer vision system to automatically detect when new ingredients are added to cooking pots or pans using 8 cameras in a commercial kitchen, triggering a 3-second video clip. My experience developing real-time object detection models for similar automated workflows, including a project that successfully identified and logged specific actions in a high-throughput environment with 95% accuracy, directly aligns with your goal. I will build a custom solution using YOLOv8 for ingredient bowl detection and tracking across your 8 camera feeds. This will involve developing a Python application leveraging OpenCV for video stream processing and PyTorch for model inference. The system will output timestamped detection events and trigger cloud storage uploads (e.g., to AWS S3) for the 3-second video clips. What is the desired format and metadata for the captured 3-second video clips? Ready to start as soon as you confirm scope.

You want a hands free system that grabs a precise 3 second clip when a color coded prep bowl tilts over a cooking zone across eight overhead PoE domes. That tilt timing plus low false positives is the hard part, not just detecting a bowl. Most teams miss that short arm motions and steam can look like pours. Reliable detection needs both per object tracking and a small temporal action classifier or flow check to avoid spurious triggers. I built a multi camera QA system for a food packaging line using YOLOv5 for object detection, a temporal classifier for actions, FFmpeg rolling buffers and S3 uploads. How I would deliver it * Ingest eight RTSP streams to a central process with per stream circular buffers and synchronized timestamps * Train a lightweight YOLO model on your bowl colors and add a compact temporal module or optical flow check to confirm tilt * On trigger extract 1 second before and 2 seconds after, transcode with FFmpeg for size, upload to your S3 bucket with station and timestamp metadata * Provide a simple React or Streamlit dashboard for Station based playback and management Do you have sample footage and the exact bowl color codes available? Which cloud do you prefer and what retention or bandwidth limits should I assume so I can prepare an architecture diagram and timeline.

Good day! Thanks for sharing the detailed project brief. If you already have any diagrams, camera setup layout, sample footage from your kitchen stations, or any reference system in mind, please share it as well so we can align everything properly before starting the build. From what I understand, you are looking to build a real-time multi-camera AI system for a commercial kitchen that automatically detects ingredient pouring actions using overhead RTSP cameras. The system should identify specific color-coded prep bowls, detect the tilt/pour event, and then extract a precise 3-second video clip around that action. Right? Questions: What type of visual conditions should we expect inside the kitchen during operation, including lighting changes, steam, heat, and camera angle variations, so we can decide how robust the detection model needs to be for real-world performance? How do you want the system to behave if multiple cooking stations trigger events at the same time, and should the processing prioritize real-time upload or batch processing to avoid any delay in video delivery? I would love to schedule a meeting or have a detailed conversation about the project to clarify some concerns about the project, this way I can demonstrate my capabilities perfectly and suggest the best result possible.

Hi, This project aligns very well with my background in AI/ML and computer vision. I have experience building real-time video analytics systems using Python, OpenCV, PyTorch, YOLO, FFmpeg, RTSP pipelines, edge AI devices, and cloud integrations. For your kitchen automation system, I would implement a scalable multi-camera architecture capable of processing all 8 overhead PoE streams simultaneously on a central GPU workstation. The pipeline would detect and track the standardized prep bowls, identify the tilt/pour action, maintain a rolling video buffer, automatically extract the required 3-second clip (1 second before and 2 seconds after the event), compress it efficiently, and upload it to cloud storage with station and timestamp metadata. I particularly like the fact that bowl colors and shapes are standardized, as this significantly improves detection reliability while keeping inference lightweight and real-time. My approach would combine YOLO-based detection with event logic and tracking to minimize false triggers and ensure only valid ingredient additions generate clips. I can also build the cloud upload workflow and a clean dashboard for reviewing clips by station, date, and time, while keeping the system easy to maintain and extend. I have worked on multi-camera analytics, industrial monitoring, object detection, tracking, and edge AI deployments, and can provide a robust production-oriented solution rather than just a proof of concept.
