Bust the Burglars – Machine Learning with TensorFlow and Apache Kafka | Confluent

What this post added

This post details building a burglar alarm system using network-connected cameras, Apache Kafka, Kafka Streams, and TensorFlow. It covers image acquisition and preprocessing (grayscale conversion, resizing) using a custom Kafka Connect converter, building a TensorFlow model for burglar detection via transfer learning and TensorFlow for Java, and sending alerts using a Telegram sink connector. It also discusses integrating with smart locks via a REST source connector for filtering alerts.
