CamStreamAndroidToPython

Project Description

This project demonstrates how to stream live camera footage from an Android device using RTSP and perform object detection on the stream using YOLO (You Only Look Once) in Python. The Android application captures the camera feed and streams it over RTSP, while the Python script processes this stream to detect objects using the YOLO model.

Features

• Android Application:

  • Captures live camera feed.
  • Streams the camera feed via RTSP.
  • Uses CameraX for camera functionalities.
  • Implements ViewModel, LiveData, and Snackbar for error and success messages, following the MVVM architecture.

• Python Script:

  • Connects to the RTSP stream from the Android application.
  • Uses YOLO for object detection.
  • Captures a 5-second GIF from the stream.
  • Displays real-time object detection with bounding boxes and labels.

Prerequisites

• Android:

  • Android Studio
  • Minimum SDK version 21
  • Recommended target SDK version 34

• Python:

  • Python 3.6 or higher
  • OpenCV
  • Ultralytics YOLO
  • PyTorch
  • imageio
