Automated Weapon Detection System in CCTV’s Through Image Processing

In our study, we aim to detect various weapons through image processing using a combination of traditional machine learning algorithms and deep learning techniques. This would prove beneficial in anticipating unusual occurrences. The utilization of Closed-Circuit Televisions (CCTVs) has become widespread in the security and surveillance industry; however, it requires constant human monitoring to extract useful information, which is both tedious and prone to errors. The base paper deals with identifying only firearms. We intend to utilize machine learning and deep learning methods to recognize different weapons automatically, not only firearms and alert the CCTV monitor to that specific area.
