# Real-Time Object Detection & Tracking with YOLOv8 & Deep SORT 🚀

Ever wondered if your computer could “see” and track objects in real-time? 👀 During my CodeAlpha internship , I built a system in Python that does exactly that. It detects objects in video files and live webcam streams , assigning each object a unique ID as it moves. What I learned / challenges: Objects sometimes got “lost” between frames — tweaking the tracking algorithm fixed it Switching between video files and webcam input required careful testing Managing Python dependencies and real-time performance was tricky Tech Stack: YOLOv8 (Ultralytics) Deep SORT OpenCV Python 💡 Fun part: Watching the bounding boxes follow objects in real-time felt magical ✨ Check out my code and demo: [GitHub Repo] Urooj25 / CodeAlpha_ObjectDetection CodeAlpha_ObjectDetection 🔍 Real-Time Object Detection & Tracking Internship Task 4 — CodeAlpha 📌 About This Project This project implements real-time object detection and tracking using: YOLOv8 (via ultralytics) for object detection Deep SORT for tracking obj
