Weapon Detection Using YOLOv3

Project Overview

This project utilizes the YOLOv3 (You Only Look Once) algorithm for real-time weapon detection. The code supports two modes of operation:

1. Webcam-based weapon detection: Uses the webcam to detect weapons in real-time.
2. Video file-based weapon detection: Uses a pre-recorded video file to detect weapons.

Features

• Real-time detection of weapons using either a webcam or a video file.
• Display of bounding boxes and labels for detected objects.
• Customizable detection thresholds.

Technologies and Libraries Used

• Python (version 3.x)
• OpenCV: Library for computer vision tasks.
• NumPy: Library for numerical computations.
• YOLOv3: Pre-trained deep learning model for object detection.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.x
• OpenCV
• NumPy

You can install the required libraries using pip:

pip install opencv-python numpy

Setup

1. Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:

   git clone <repository_url>
   cd <repository_name>
   

2. Download YOLOv3 weights and configuration files:

   Download the YOLOv3 weights and configuration files from the official YOLO website or any other reliable source. Place these files in the project directory.

Running the Code

Depending on your use case, run the appropriate script:

1. Webcam-based weapon detection:

   python weapon_detection1.py
   

2. Video file-based weapon detection:

   python weapon_detection.py
   

Sample Output

The following image demonstrates the output of the YOLOv3 model, showing bounding boxes and labels for detected objects:

By following the steps outlined above, you can execute the code and perform real-time weapon detection using either a webcam or a video file.

Customization

You can customize the detection thresholds and other parameters within the script to suit your specific requirements. Detailed comments within the code will guide you through making these adjustments.

DESCRIPTION

This project is a real-time weapon detection system utilizing OpenCV and YOLO (You Only Look Once) object detection framework. The system is designed to detect various weapons such as knives, guns, and bombs using a pre-trained YOLOv3 model. The implementation involves loading the YOLO model with custom-trained weights and configuration files, capturing live video feed from the camera, and processing each frame to detect and highlight weapons. The detection results are displayed on the screen with bounding boxes and labels around the detected weapons. This tool is potentially useful for enhancing security measures in public spaces by providing an automated method for weapon detection.
