Introduction

1.1 Document Purpose

The main purpose of this document is to present a detailed description
about the design of the Object Detection System. The System Design Doc-
ument describes the system requirements, operating environment, system
and subsystem architecture, files and database design, input formats, out-
put layouts, human-machine interfaces, detailed design, processing logic, and
external interfaces. The main purpose of this software is to detect different
types of objects using modern computer vision technology. This detection
will be done with the help of images stored in the database. This software
will detect an object and give relevant information about that object’s class.
This information then can be used for several purposes. This system is stable
and applicable as an stand alone system or one that could easily be embedded
into an even larger system.

1.2 Product Scope

Object recognition is an important task in image processing and computer
vision. It is concerned with determining the identity of an object being
observed in an image. This Object Detection System would make a com-
puter able to recognize different objects in an image using Computer Vision
technology. This system has a really wide scope as object detection is a
key feature of Computer Vision based systems. So many other systems for
various purposes, can be developed using this core system.

Facial recognition is one of the most popular application of object detec-

tion. Since this system is able to detect multiple objects in an image, so

3
it can be used for counting the number of objects in an image. Using this
system various kind of security systems can also be developed. We can also
use this system for object tracking. By recognizing the objects in the images,
combining each object in the image and passing detected object labels in the
URL we can use the object detection system for image search.

1.3 Definitions, Acronyms and Abbreviations

Term Definition
Admin The person who is in charge of the system and has the
authority to add images to database.
Bounding Box A rectangular border that encloses an object.
Class It represents the set of properties or methods that are
common to all objects of one type.
Database Collection of all the information monitored by this sys-
tem.
Dataset Data on which the object detection is done .
Directory A location for storing files on your computer.
Environment Vicinity in which the system is used.
Frame A set of data with information about a particular object.
Interface An interface an abstract type that is used to specify a
behavior that classes must implement.
Object Anything that has to be detected by the system.
Samples Images which are added into the dataset for the match-
ing process.
User Any person who is giving an image input for object de-
tection.
UI User Interface.
User Interface the means by which the user and a system interact.

1.4 Remainder of the Documnent

Next chapters of this document are organized as follows:

• Chapter 2 showcases the data flow between the various users, processes
and database of the software.

4
 • Chapter 3 contains the Object-oriented design of the system, which
is the discipline of defining the objects and their interactions to solve
a problem that was identified and documented during object-oriented
analysis.

• Chapter 4 shows the internal logic of the processes through different

diagrams. They help in identifying the risks which can occur during
the software development.

All chapters of the document describes the design of the same software prod-
uct in its entirety.
