🚁 AI-Driven UAV Collision & Intrusion Detection System

📋 Description

Welcome to the AI-Driven UAV Collision & Intrusion Detection System! This innovative project, developed for a Hackathon, leverages cutting-edge AI technologies to enhance safety in UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) operations. By integrating YOLOv8 object detection with advanced collision prediction algorithms, this system provides real-time monitoring, intrusion alerts, and comprehensive flight path analysis to prevent accidents and ensure secure airspace management.

Whether you're a drone enthusiast, aviation professional, or developer interested in AI applications, this project offers a robust framework for UAV safety solutions.

✨ Key Features

• 🕵️ AI-Powered Detection: Utilizes YOLOv8 for accurate drone detection in videos and images.
• 📊 Flight Path Simulation: Generates synthetic UAV flight paths with realistic data (latitude, longitude, altitude, speed).
• ⚠️ Collision Prediction: Implements algorithms to predict potential collisions and calculate minimum distances.
• 🚨 Intrusion Alerts: Monitors restricted areas and triggers alerts for unauthorized intrusions, logging to JSON files.
• 📈 2D Visualization: Interactive plots for flight paths, alerts, and detection results using Matplotlib.
• 🌐 Streamlit Dashboard: User-friendly web interface for real-time monitoring and data visualization.
• 📝 Comprehensive Logging: Detailed logs for collision and intrusion events in JSONL format.
