I made an AI that detects landmines
Machine Learning is transforming industries worldwide. Yet in mine action, where lives are at stake, we are barely seeing any implementation even though the potential is so high. I'm Ziad Alezzi, a 16 year old developer from Lebanon, my dream is to pursue my education in Japan under scholarship and to work towards a citizenship. To contribute to that goal, I made this video to prove that even with fundamental programming knowledge and publicly available tools, I was able to make two machine learning models to demonstrate: "If I can do this, Mine Action Organizations with Professional Developers absolutely can." Part 1: The Problem The moment I began this project, I faced difficulty immediately. Landmines are sensitive military objects. Public image datasets are not available. And with insufficient labeled data, training an image classification model is impossible. Instead of stopping there, I generated my own dataset. Part 2: The Solution In three days, I learned the basics of 3D model
