Real-Time Object Detection

Project Summery

This is a real-time object detection system built with YOLOv8 and OpenCV. It uses your webcam to detect objects live and display them with bounding boxes and labels.

✅ Features

• Real-time webcam object detection
• YOLOv8 Nano (yolov8n.pt) for fast performance
• Easy to extend for images or video files
• Lightweight and fast — runs even on low-end devices

📦 Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Ultralytics YOLO
• OpenCV
• NumPy

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

🚀 Getting Started

Clone the project and run the detection script:

git clone https://github.com/sujit-codezen/object_detection.git
cd real_time_object_detection
python main.py
