Real Time Object Detection YOLO

Abstract

1. Introduction

Real Time Object Detection using Darknet YOLO (You Only Look Once) algorithm, OpenCV on the COCO (Common Objects in Context) dataset.

2. Objective

Real Time Object Detection using Darknet YOLO (You Only Look Once) algorithm on the COCO (Common Objects in Context) dataset.

This project demonstrates how Jupyter Notebook can be applied to a real-world AI & Machine Learning problem.

4. Technology Stack

5. System Requirements

General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.

• Python 3.8 or later with Jupyter Notebook / JupyterLab (or Google Colab)
• pip for dependencies
• Git (to clone the repository)

6. Installation & Setup

git clone https://github.com/ArnavBalyan/Real-Time-Object-Detection_YOLO.git
cd Real-Time-Object-Detection_YOLO

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

• Deploy the model as a web app with Streamlit, Flask or FastAPI
• Compare against an additional model and report the metric difference
• Add explainability (SHAP / Grad-CAM)

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. What dataset does the project use and how was it pre-processed?
2. Which algorithm / model architecture is used and why was it chosen over alternatives?
3. How are training and testing data split, and how is overfitting avoided?
4. Which evaluation metrics (accuracy, precision, recall, F1) are reported and what do they mean here?
5. How would you deploy this model for real users?
