Smart Human Detection and Crowd Monitoring System Using YOLOv8 Project

The Smart Human Detection and Crowd Monitoring System is an intelligent surveillance platform designed to detect and monitor human activities using Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision technologies. The system utilizes the YOLOv8 object detection model to identify people from live webcam or camera feeds and performs real-time human counting and crowd analysis. The platform continuously tracks the number of individuals present within monitored areas and compares the count against predefined capacity limits. When overcrowding situations occur, the system generates alerts, highlights detected individuals, stores detection records, and provides visual analytics through an interactive dashboard. Additionally, the application offers automated email notifications with detection screenshots, live video streaming, report generation, user authentication, profile management, chatbot support using Groq AI, and historical analytics for decision-making. The solution is suitable for security monitoring, crowd management, workplace safety, educational institutions, shopping centers, and public event venues.
