AI-Powered ID-Wearing Detection

Overview

Created for Digital Signal Processing coursework, this team project combines a pretrained YOLOv5 person detector with a custom ID-lanyard detector. The OpenCV webcam preview associates detections using bounding-box overlap and displays colored With ID, uncertain, or No ID labels. It also shows FPS and plays an audio alert when an ID is detected, with a five-second cooldown. The desktop interface adds camera selection, Start/Stop controls, adjustable confidence, and workspace screenshot saving. Screenshots show reference preview mode and project testing images with teammates’ faces blurred. This is a visual detection prototype, not identity verification.

Features

• Run separate person and custom ID-lanyard detection models on webcam frames.
• Associate lanyards with people through bounding-box overlap.
• Show confidence-aware labels and colored detection boxes.
• Display FPS and trigger a cooldown-controlled audio alert on ID detection.
