Live Object Detection with YOLO (Jupyter Notebook)

This Jupyter Notebook (object_detection.ipynb) performs live object detection using a pre-trained YOLOv8 model and OpenCV. It captures video from your webcam, detects objects, and displays the results.

Usage

1. Open object_detection.ipynb in Jupyter Notebook or JupyterLab.
2. Run the cells sequentially. The notebook will:
   • Install ultralytics (if not already installed).
   • Download the yolov8n.pt model weights (if needed) into a weights subdirectory.
   • Start capturing video from your webcam.
   • Display the live video with object detections.
3. Press 'q' to quit.
