Prototype Chicken Detection Model

Overview

Prototype poultry-monitoring system that detects and counts chickens in images and video. Built with Python, Detectron2, and PyTorch around a RetinaNet model with a ResNet-50 FPN backbone, compressed with dynamic quantization and structured pruning.

Challenge

Developing a high-sensitivity deep learning model for accurate real-time chicken detection in poultry farm environments.

Result

Developed a prototype capable of reliable chicken detection and counting in images and videos, designed for future integration into a real-time monitoring application.
