Monopoly Card Barcode Region Detection Dataset (YOLOv8‑OBB)
I created a custom image dataset to train a YOLOv8‑OBB model to automatically detect the barcode region on Monopoly game cards in live camera frames. The project involved designing the data collection setup, capturing images under different angles, lighting conditions, and backgrounds, and manually annotating the barcode area on each card with consistent bounding boxes suitable for oriented object detection. I defined clear labeling guidelines, file naming conventions, and train/validation splits to keep the dataset clean and reproducible. The resulting dataset was used to train and evaluate the model as part of a Monopoly companion app prototype that can quickly locate and read card barcodes during gameplay.
