An advanced wild animal detection and alert system is developed using the YOLOv5 (You Only Look Once version 5) model. The system uses an object detection algorithm to identify wild animals and provide real-time alerts to users. A camera captures live video footage, which is processed by a computer running the YOLOv5 model to accurately detect and classify animals. When a wild animal is detected, the system immediately generates alerts such as warning sounds or notifications to prevent potential danger. These alerts can also act as deterrents to scare animals away and improve safety. The system is useful in areas where wild animal movement is common, such as forest borders, agricultural fields, and highways. Overall, the system provides an efficient and real-time solution for monitoring wildlife and reducing human-animal conflicts. Future improvements can focus on increasing accuracy and enhancing real-world performance under different environmental conditions.
