Presentation Script for Weapon Detection

Introduction
This is the bitter fact, security and safety are major concerns in today's modern world. CCTV cameras
are commonly used to monitor and survey public areas in order to reduce crime rates. However,
despite their usefulness, these cameras still require human supervision and interaction. It can be
difficult for a single operator to maintain the same level of attention at all times, which is why we
need to explore new technologies that can help us better detect and respond to potential threats. In
this presentation, I will be discussing a new innovation in surveillance camera technology that could
revolutionize the way we approach public safety. Specifically, I will be discussing the benefits of
automatic weapon detection technology and how it can help us to better protect our communities.

Motivation
As we all know, security and safety are major concerns in today's modern world. One way we try to
address these concerns is by using CCTV cameras to monitor and survey public areas in order to
detect and prevent illegal activities. However, despite the advancements in deep learning
algorithms, fast-processing hardware, and advanced cameras, detecting weapons in live camera
streams remains a difficult task. Looking at weapons in different ways and being obstructed by the
person holding the gun and the people around them further enhances the difficulty of the challenge.
In this presentation, I will be discussing the limitations of current automatic weapon detection
systems, and exploring potential solutions to help us better detect and respond to potential threats.

Dataset and Preprocessing


The dataset and preprocessing steps for automatic weapon detection. In order to develop an
accurate and reliable automatic weapon detection system, we first need a comprehensive dataset of
real-world examples. Our dataset was collected and constructed in different phases, with data being
gathered from various sources such as the internet, YouTube CCTV videos, and GitHub repositories.
We divided our dataset into two categories: pistol and non-pistol. Within the pistol category, we
further categorized weapons into pistol, revolver, and other shot handhold weapons. This
categorization was based on our analysis of CCTV videos from various robberies and shooting
incidents, which revealed that almost 95% of the weapons used were either pistols or revolvers.
To prepare our dataset for machine learning algorithms, we performed several preprocessing steps.
First, we scaled all the images to a consistent size to ensure uniformity. Then, we applied image
augmentation techniques to increase the diversity of our dataset and reduce overfitting. Finally, we
labeled all the images according to their respective categories using a standardized labeling process.
These preprocessing steps are crucial in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of our automatic
weapon detection system.

Architecture and Algorithms


As we discussed earlier, automatic weapon detection is a challenging task, but we can use different
algorithms to help us achieve this goal. One such algorithm is YOLO, or You Only Look Once, which is
a real-time object detection system that can detect objects in images and videos with high accuracy.
YOLO, or You Only Look Once, is a popular object detection architecture that has been widely used
for weapon detection. It is a real-time object detection system that can process images in just a few
milliseconds, making it an ideal choice for video surveillance applications.
To improve the performance of YOLO for weapon detection, we tested different architectures such
as Faster R-CNN and SSD. Our experiments showed that Faster R-CNN architecture performs better
than SSD architecture in terms of accuracy and detection speed. However, both architectures have
their own strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of architecture depends on the specific
requirements of the application.
However, Faster RCNN, or Region-based Convolutional Neural Network, is another deep learning
architecture that has shown promising results for weapon detection. It is a two-stage object
detection system that first proposes regions of interest and then classifies them using a
convolutional neural network. Faster RCNN has been shown to outperform YOLO in certain
scenarios, particularly when dealing with smaller objects.
SSD, or Single Shot Multi-box Detector, is a one-stage object detection architecture that is similar to
YOLO in that it processes images in a single pass. However, SSD is able to achieve higher accuracy
than YOLO by using multiple convolutional feature maps at different scales.
In addition to object detection, tracking methodologies can also be used to improve the accuracy
and reliability of automatic weapon detection. By tracking objects over time, we can reduce false
alarms and ensure that only real threats are detected.
In our experiments, we found that Faster RCNN architecture performed better than SSD for weapon
detection, although both architectures were able to achieve high accuracy rates. Our results
highlight the importance of choosing the right architecture for the specific task at hand, as different
architectures may perform better in different scenarios.

Results
Results showed that Fast RCNN achieved higher accuracy rates compared to SSD, with an average
accuracy of 86% for Fast RCNN and 73% for SSD. However, SSD was faster than Fast RCNN, with an
average processing time of 0.82 seconds per image for SSD compared to 1.58 seconds per image for
Fast RCNN.
In terms of gun detection and correct classification, Fast RCNN performed better than SSD for all
types of guns except for the UZI Model, which was classified correctly by SSD but not by Fast RCNN.
For example, for the AK-47 gun, Fast RCNN achieved an accuracy of 94% and a speed of 1.28
seconds, while SSD achieved an accuracy of 80% and a speed of 0.67 seconds.
Overall, our results suggest that Fast RCNN is more accurate for weapon detection but is slower than
SSD, while SSD is faster but slightly less accurate. The choice of architecture depends on the specific
requirements of the application, such as the importance of speed versus accuracy.

Conclusion
In conclusion, we have shown that deep learning architectures can be used effectively for real-time
weapon detection using CCTV cameras. We tested the performance of two popular architectures,
Fast RCNN and SSD, on gun detection tasks using a preprocessed dataset of images containing
different types of guns. Our results indicated that Fast RCNN achieved higher accuracy rates than
SSD, but at the cost of slower processing times. The choice of gun categories in the dataset also had
an impact on the performance of the models. Our findings suggest that the selection of the
appropriate deep learning architecture and gun categories depends on the specific requirements of
the application, such as speed versus accuracy and the types of weapons most likely to be
encountered. Future work could focus on improving the accuracy and speed of deep learning
models for weapon detection, as well as expanding the dataset to include more diverse scenarios.
