YOLO Family R-CNN / SSD DETR / Transformers Real-Time Tracking Applications

Object Detection Project with Source Code in Python

Object detection localises and classifies instances in images and video. Final-year projects that fine-tune modern detectors, report mAP and latency, and optionally deploy real-time demos produce strong, industry-relevant results.

Below are 80+ topics across YOLO, two-stage detectors, transformers, real-time systems, tracking and domain applications, with tools (Ultralytics YOLO, Detectron2, PyTorch, OpenCV) and datasets (COCO, VOC, custom).
