Abstract

Security threats posed by concealed weapons have necessitated the development of advanced detection techniques. In this study, a model for the detection and recognition of armed persons using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) was investigated. The model utilizes thermal imaging data, preprocessing techniques, and supervised learning to detect and classify hidden weapons. Key performance metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, are employed to evaluate the model’s effectiveness. The investigated approach demonstrates improved detection rates compared to conventional methods, offering a robust solution for security applications. The study also explores various deep learning techniques, dataset preparation strategies, and potential real-world applications.
