Uses

Direct Use

The YOLOv8n_RD Record Detection model can be directly integrated into document management systems to provide real-time detection and classification of multiple records in scanned images of birth, death, and marriage certificates. This facilitates quick data extraction and analysis.

Downstream Use

The model's real-time capabilities can be leveraged to automate data extraction processes, generate alerts for specific record detections, and enhance overall document processing efficiency.

Training data

The YOLOv8n_RD model was trained on a custom dataset consisting of annotated images of birth, death, and marriage records for training and validation.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model is not designed for unrelated object detection tasks or scenarios outside the scope of detecting multiple records in scanned images of vital records.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

The YOLOv8n_RD Record Detection model may exhibit some limitations and biases:

• Performance may be affected by variations in image quality, document layout, and handwriting styles within scanned records.
• Poor quality scans or damaged documents may impact the model's accuracy and responsiveness.
• Record-specific anomalies not well-represented in the training data may pose challenges for detection.

Recommendations

Users should be aware of the model's limitations and potential biases. Thorough testing and validation within specific document processing environments are advised before deploying the model in production systems.

How to Get Started with the Model

To begin using the YOLOv8s_RD model for multiple record detection in an image, follow these steps:

pip install ultralytics==8.2.31
pip install opencv-python==4.8.0.76

• Load model and perform real-time prediction:

from ultralytics import YOLO
import os
import cv2
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
model = YOLO("Bodhi108/Yolov8n_RD")
def detect_records(input_folder):
    # Iterate over all images in the input folder
    for filename in os.listdir(input_folder):
        if filename.endswith(('.jpg', '.jpeg', '.png')):
            img_path = os.path.join(input_folder, filename)
            img = cv2.imread(img_path)
            results = model(img)
            for result in results:
                if result.boxes.data.shape[0] > 0:  # Check for detections
                    for i, box in enumerate(result.boxes.data.tolist()):
                        xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax, conf, cls = box

                        # Draw the bounding box on the image
                        cv2.rectangle(img, (int(xmin), int(ymin)), (int(xmax), int(ymax)), (0, 255, 0), 5)

            plt.imshow(cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB))
            plt.title(f"Detections on {filename}")
            plt.axis('off')
            plt.show()

input_folder = 'your input image directory'
detect_records(input_folder)

Training Details
