🐟 Automated Real-Time Video Monitoring of Fish

Fish monitoring using YOLO11 Object Detection model + BotSort Tracking technique + Customized Counting algorithm

---

📌 Overview

• This Project focuses on river herring detection, all other type of fishes are considered as non-herring class.
• The main contribution includes:
  • The curated high-quality balanced training dataset (12,000 images)
  • The trained YOLO11 Object Detection Model weights on our dataset
  • The customized counting algorithm leveraging accumulated fish detections of 70% of the frames.

⚙️ Installation

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Sea-queue/Fish-detection-and-counting.git.git 

Run the model

from ultralytics import YOLO

# Load a model with our trained weights
model = YOLO("path_to_the_weights")  # load a custom model
