A dog is a pet that very popular in every household. Sometimes owner is lack of time to taking care of it or does not want to leave it with stool which might cause some smell and become dirty. Therefore, it is great if there are some things to take care of it, in case of owner has no time to make it happy and healthy or owner do not want to leave it look dirty. This paper uses image processing to detect a dog and excrement in a closed space (cage), with the intention of using the detection to control the cleaning of the space with an automatic conveyor when excrement is detected (and the dog is not on the conveyor).
