ML powered system for detecting weapons within images
Business Problem
- Mass shootings have become increasingly prevalent at public gatherings
- Creating an algorithm that that be integrated into traditional surveillance systems can be used to detect threats faster and more efficiently than those monitored by people
- In modern surveillance systems, there is a person or group of people, in charge of watching monitors which can span across multiple floors of a given area
- Violence on social media platforms such as Youtube, Facebook, and TikTok
- An algorithm that integrate itself into traditional upload systems can detect violent videos before they are spread on a given website
- Considering the graphs below, the United States ranks among the top 5 countries in terms of firearm deaths
Solution
- Create a neural network that can be integrated into traditional surveillance systems
- This neural network will be able to detect whether a firearm is present in a frame, and if so, it will notify authorities/managers of its detection
