Real-Time Object Detection and Recognition with Face Recognition for Robotic Assistance in Medical Applications
Explanation:
In this final project, you will develop a real-time computer vision system integrated with deep learning-based object detection, object recognition, image segmentation, and face recognition capabilities. The project aims to assist robotic systems in medical applications by detecting and recognizing objects of interest, performing face recognition for patient identification, and providing real-time visual feedback to medical personnel.
Steps:
- Dataset Selection: Choose a dataset that contains a diverse range of medical images and videos relevant to the chosen medical application. The dataset should include labeled objects of interest, such as medical instruments, anatomical structures, or medical devices. Additionally, gather a separate dataset of face images for training the face recognition module. A publicly available dataset, such as the “OpenI” dataset (https://openi.nlm.nih.gov), can be used for medical images, and face datasets like the “Labeled Faces in the Wild” dataset (http://vis-www.cs.umass.edu/lfw/) can be used for face recognition.
- Preprocessing: Preprocess the medical images and videos by applying image enhancement techniques, noise reduction filters, and standardization methods. Normalize the pixel values and resize the images to a consistent resolution. Preprocess the face images by aligning, cropping, and normalizing them to a standardized size.
