🦺🚀 AI-Powered PPE Detection System using Python, YOLOv8, OpenCV & Flask!
In this Tamil-explained (தமிழில் விளக்கம்) Computer Vision project, we build a real-time PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) Detection System that identifies helmets, vests, masks, gloves, and shoes in live video streams.
Perfect for Tamil students, AI beginners, IoT developers, and safety engineers working on smart construction and industrial monitoring systems.
🔑 What You’ll Learn (Tamil-friendly explanation)
✅ Set up YOLOv8 for real-time PPE detection
✅ Process live video streams using OpenCV
✅ Build a Flask web dashboard for live monitoring
✅ Handle low-light, occlusions & motion blur
✅ Deploy the system for industrial safety environments
✅ Detect PPE items: Helmet, Vest, Gloves, Shoes, Mask
By the end of the video, you’ll have a complete AI-powered Workplace Safety Monitoring System.
