With the emergence of CCTV, vehicle rear view cameras, there is an enormous amount of video data. This data can be used as evidence in the event of a crime, speeding up the investigations. As the data collected increases, developing tools that can analyze the data collected quickly becomes more challenging. However, reviewing hours of footage is tedious and unreliable for a human, making them miss crucial details. Therefore, we need to develop a computer application that can find occurrences of specific objects or humans within minutes.
This project is to create an application that takes an object (car, person) as an input, and searches for these objects’ instances across several videos with high accuracy. The output should be the copies of instances (frames) and their respective timestamps.
