🚀 Usage Guide

Core Implementation

from human_detector import HumanDetector

# Initialize detector
detector = HumanDetector(config=CONFIG)

# Process image
def process_image(image_path):
    result = detector.detect_from_image(image_path)
    detector.save_output(result, 'output_image.jpg')

# Process video
def process_video(video_path):
    detector.detect_from_video(video_path,
                             output_path='output_video.avi')

Advanced Usage

# Custom detection parameters
detector.set_parameters(
    winStride=(4, 4),
    padding=(8, 8),
    scale=1.05
)

# Real-time camera feed
detector.start_live_detection(
    camera_id=0,
    display_output=True
)

# Batch processing
detector.process_batch(
    input_directory='input_folder',
    output_directory='output_folder'
)
