The paper has a project design aimed at which pet owner can be able to feed their pet/pets without their presence or Interferences unlike older versions of pet feeder.The motive of our mission is to offer a simpler and extra efficient way for the pet owners to feed their pets, even when they may be now not at domestic and when they are no longer capable of manipulate remotely.The system makes use of Digital Image Processing for implementation.At First, In the project a pet call is provided using a recorded voice through a speaker to indicate feed time of the pet is initiated.The Ultrasonic Sensor is placed in order to detect the pet in front of the system.Once pet detection is done the camera is switched on and Camera captures image of the pet and processes.If the pet is recognized as required pet, a dc motor will be activated to dispense food.The project implemented is for two pets of different species.Hence, we have employed two dc motors to dispense two different kinds of food for two different pets.So, two food containers and two food bowls are provided in this design.Once the required pet if fed successfully, the message will be sent to the owner's mobile number using an API.
