# MotionPro
## Motivation
I love Surfing. I usually go surfing alone, so I can't take pictures of my surfing by myself. The famous camera for sports, GoPro, it may not suitable to shoot video from shore, because it can only shoot a fixed region. When a guy surf, he'll move around to find waves. So we want to make a device to dynamically capture the moving of surfers.

## Objective
Make a camera which can detect one of surfers who is catching a wave and **no tag wearing required**. The technique [Motion detection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_detection) is considered to use, so called `MotionPro`, means that ++a GoPro-like device with Motion detection++.

變焦鏡頭可考慮手機外掛大炮鏡頭

先從algorithm開始開發，硬體開發較為簡單
