AI-Powered Smart City Traffic Monitoring & Computer Vision System

This project is an advanced Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence solution designed for smart city surveillance, intelligent traffic management, and real-time urban analytics. The system processes live video streams from CCTV cameras to detect, classify, and track multiple objects simultaneously while generating actionable insights for traffic optimization and public safety.

Using state-of-the-art deep learning models, the system performs real-time object detection, multi-object tracking, and scene understanding with high accuracy. It can identify pedestrians, vehicles, buses, cyclists, traffic lights, and other road participants while continuously monitoring their movement, speed, and location.

The platform is capable of handling multiple video feeds simultaneously and provides a centralized dashboard for monitoring city traffic conditions. It can automatically detect congestion, estimate traffic density, analyze pedestrian movement, and generate real-time statistics for traffic management authorities.
