This Omdena Local Chapter Challenge runs for 5 weeks and is a unique experience to try and grow your skills in a collaborative and safe environment with a diverse mix of people from all over the world.
You will work on solving a local problem, initiated by the Omdena Abuja, Nigeria Chapter.
The problem
Surveillance systems in offices, streets, or homes should be able to detect abnormalities in the environment in real-time to prevent crimes from happening or stop ongoing criminal activities. This preventive approach to solving crime will greatly decrease the loss/ destruction of properties and prevent fatal injuries/ loss of life in extreme cases. Using AI, we can alert people of danger in time and thereby improve the security conditions in the country.
The goals
- Source for labeled surveillance video datasets for crime/ abnormalities.
- Prepare data and develop fast deep-learning anomaly detection models for real-time usage.
- Develop an interface to deploy a successful model for possible integration with surveillance systems (with alert capabilities).
