Digital forensics science places a significant emphasis on the detection of objects as one of the most vital areas of study. Several industries and institutions may benefit from the object detection method, including those concerned with medical diagnostic scanning, traffic monitoring, airport security, law enforcement, and data rescue on a local and global scale. This study aims to detect weapons in video surveillance images by using various enhancement, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification methods by Artificial Neural Network to improve the detection accuracy. Yet, several mathematical and algorithmic models are computed to provide the appropriate approaches. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
