Contextual Understanding of Video Data for Surveillance Analysis
This project proposes a content-driven pipeline for analyzing surveillance videos by segmenting long streams into semantically meaningful, action-centered clips. Leveraging motion cues and object-level understanding, the system enables efficient indexing and retrieval of relevant events using natural-language queries, supporting intelligent surveillance analysis.
