# πŸ¦— LocustGuard
LocustGuard is a powerful computer vision app for detecting and classifying locusts in images or video.
Built on **YOLOv8** and **Gradio**, it is designed to help researchers, farmers, and agri-technologists monitor and manage locust infestations at scale.
---
## πŸš€ Features
- Detects and highlights locusts in static images (JPG, PNG) and video files (MP4, MOV)
- Fast inference powered by a custom-trained YOLOv8 model
- Intuitive web app interface built with Gradio
- Easy deployment on Hugging Face Spaces or locally via GitHub
---
## πŸ’» Usage
### On Hugging Face Spaces
1. Go to the LocustGuard Space.
2. Wait for the app to launch.
3. Upload an **image** or **video**.
4. View instant locust detection results.
---
## 🧠 Model
- The detection model is based on YOLOv8, fine-tuned on a labeled locust dataset.
