However, a significant challenge persists in achieving a balance between high detection accuracy and real-time processing speeds, especially for applications requiring immediate feedback from live video streams. This study aims to design and implement an effective real-time object detection system to address this challenge. Utilizing the Python programming language and the OpenCV library, the project integrates a pre-trained Single-Shoot Detector (SSD) model to identify and locate common objects within a live video feed from a standard webcam. The research is structured through a detailed investigation, beginning with a literature review that traces the evolution of object detection from early methods like Viola-Jones to modern deep learning architectures such as R-CNN, YOLO, and SSD. The review highlights the inherent trade-off between speed and accuracy and identifies key challenges, including computational demands and difficulty detecting small objects. A system analysis of a traffic monitoring case study further contextualizes the problem, revealing limitations in existing systems, such as delayed processing, high false-positive rates, and inadequate real-time performance. The proposed solution focuses on the practical deployment and optimization of a deep learning model for real-time inference, rather than training a model from scratch. The specific objectives include developing a Python application to capture and process video, implementing bounding box and label annotations for detected objects, and evaluating the system's performance based on detection accuracy and processing speed (frames per second). By leveraging widely available tools, this work provides an accessible foundation for developing efficient real-time object detection systems, thereby contributing to the broader application of computer vision in intelligent systems and applied artificial intelligence. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Computer Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Design and Implementation of digital library system»Design and Implementation of a Virtual E-Learning System ( Case study of Lagos State University)»Design and Implementation of Student Project Management and Allocation System»Design and Implementation of online cash receipt generating system for a supermarket»Design and Implementation of a Software Result Processing and Transcript Generation System»Design and Implementation of computerized hospital database management system»Design and Implementation of a Hotel Database Management System and Service ( A Case Study of Winter Suites and Hotels, Owerri)»Design and Implementation of Online Birth and Death Registration System»Design and Implementation of Online Clearance System»Design and Implementation of Loan Management System with SMS Notification»Design and Implementation of Computerized Staff Record Department»Design and Implementation of Cyber Cafe Security»Design and Implementation of N.Y.S.C Posting System ( A case study of N.Y.S.C Enugu)»Design and Implementation of a Computerized Fraud Detection in a Bank»Design and Simulation of a Secured Wireless Network
