This is an object detection program. this is a security program which can be used if you leave your laptop in an unsafe place and if someone opens your laptop their image will be captured and sent to your email .
This project is made using python and opencv. the program first converts the image to grayscale and then compares the first frame it took to all the frames it captures until it finds a difference between the frames. Then further processing is done on that frame. The computer creates a rectangle around most likely object it detected and sends the image to the user's given email.
- clone the repository
- CREATE an 'images' folder without changing the name in the same directory as the object_detection.py file .You can copy and paste the name 'images'.
- Please use a gmail account with the program if you use outlook or any other account the program will not be able to send an email to that account.
- when you run the program, you will see a prompt to enter your email and another prompt where you have to enter 0 to use the main (integrated) camera or 1 to use a secondary camera.
