Weapon Detection
Weapon detection research focuses on developing automated systems to identify firearms and other weapons in real-time video, primarily to enhance public safety and security. Current efforts leverage deep learning, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs) like YOLO and Faster R-CNN, often employing ensemble methods and architectural modifications to improve accuracy and speed. Researchers are also addressing challenges like variations in weapon appearance and orientation by developing specialized CNN architectures and creating benchmark datasets with oriented bounding boxes for improved model training and evaluation. These advancements hold significant potential for applications in surveillance, security screening, and law enforcement.
