Abstract

The project details a real-time detection system developed using the YOLO (You Only Look Once) deep learning model, integrated with a PyQt5 graphical user interface. The system processes live or recorded video streams, identifying multiple objects with high accuracy and speed. Features include video loading, webcam capture, real-time detection with visualization, and the capability to log objects for analysis. Utilizing OpenCV for video capture and image processing, the system effectively overlays detection results with boxes and labels. The YOLO model, trained on the COCO dataset, can detect 80 object classes and aims to improve safety, efficiency, and automation in various applications.
