How to Build an Object Detection App in Python Using YOLOv5

What's this blog post about?

This workshop covered the basics of building a Python application for real-time object detection using a pre-trained YOLOv5 model. It provided hands-on experience with Jupyter Notebook, PyTorch, and OpenCV to develop a live object detection system that captures video frames from a webcam and displays detected objects in real-time. The workshop also discussed common misidentifications in machine learning models, such as koala being mistaken for a bear or rectangular devices being confused with phones. Additionally, it covered how to store logs of detections, including setting up logging configuration, logging important events, detecting results, reviewing and analyzing logs, and managing log files. Overall, the workshop aimed to provide valuable skills for future projects in machine learning and computer vision.
