This Python application is designed to interact with your computer's webcam to detect objects entering the view. Upon detection, it draws a rectangle around the object. When the object leaves the view, the application captures images, selects the best one, and sends it to your email address in real time.
- Object Detection: Utilizes the webcam to monitor and detect objects entering the field of view.
- Rectangle Annotation: Draws a rectangle around the detected object for better visibility.
- Image Capture: Takes multiple pictures of the object once it exits the view.
- Image Selection: Chooses the best picture based on predefined criteria.
- Email Notification: Sends the selected image to a specified email address immediately.
- Python 3.6 or higher
- OpenCV library
- SMTP library for email functionality
