Spotting Drones and Birds in Real Time with YOLOv8
Every day cameras try find things in the sky, and now a new model sees them fast and well.
We trained a model on 40 different kinds of flyers so it learn broad shapes and motions, then we trained it again on tougher real-world clips with tiny, hidden or tilted objects.
This two step training makes the system adapt quicker to new scenes, so it can generalize then specialize without much fuss.
The result is a system that detects flying objects in real-time while staying both quick and reliable.
It use YOLOv8, a recent fast detector, so videos can be processed at about 50 frames per second — that means near-live alerts for people watching.
The tuned version gets very high scores, reaching about 99.
1% accuracy on easier tests, and it still stays fast on full HD video.
Imagine security cameras, parks or airports noticing small birds or drones automatically, it's practical and ready.
Some cases still confuse the model like tight clusters or heavy hiding, but the progress here feels real and exciting.
