Weather Sense: Weather Classification using YOLOv8 and Flask

The project that leverages the power of YOLOv8 model to classify weather conditions from images. The application is built with Flask and takes an image as input to classify the weather in the image into five categories(Cloudy, Foggy, Rainy, Shine, and Sunrise).

Usage

1. Weather Forecasting: This model could be used to improve weather forecasting by analyzing images from weather satellites or ground-based cameras. It could help in identifying weather patterns and predicting future weather conditions.
2. Outdoor Event Planning: Event planners could use this model to check the weather conditions at their event location. This could help them for contingencies in case of adverse weather.
3. Smart Home Automation: Your weather classification model could be integrated into smart home systems. By analyzing images from outdoor cameras, the system could automatically adjust settings such as temperature, lighting, or irrigation based on the detected weather conditions.
4. Environmental Monitoring: Your model could be applied to monitor and analyze weather conditions in remote or inaccessible areas. By analyzing images captured by cameras or drones, it could provide valuable data for environmental research and monitoring.
5. Social Media Analysis: Your weather classification model could be used to analyze images shared on social media platforms. This could help in understanding the weather conditions in different locations based on user-generated content.
