Seunguk Cha

Department of Mechanical Engineering, [University of seoul] — (AI Course Project, Oct 2023 – Dec 2023)

• Developed and trained a deep learning model using YOLO (You Only Look Once) to detect whether a specific target was being worn
• Compared accuracy between default YOLOv8 models and custom-trained models with tuned variable
• Selected and preprocessed a custom dataset to enhance model performance through better data relevance and quality
• Analyzed different YOLO versions (YOLOv5, YOLOv8) to identify the optimal architecture for the target detection task
• Successfully improved detection accuracy by fine-tuning key model components and applying targeted data strategies
