Real-Time Object Detection with YOLOv8

A real-time object detection system built on top of YOLOv8 (nano variant) and OpenCV. The pipeline processes video input frame-by-frame, renders bounding boxes with class labels and confidence scores, and is structured for easy extension to custom datasets via a configurable class names file.
