YUAN Showcases AI Cross-Camera Video Search for Smarter City Operations

Powered by NVIDIA Jetson, the system combines natural-language search with visual feature matching to retrieve footage and reconstruct movement paths.

YUAN will showcase its Cross-Camera Video Search System at Smart City Expo World Congress 2026, November 3–5 in Barcelona, Spain, at Hall 3, Booth A161. Combining vision-language models ( VLMs ) with an AI agent, the system lets users describe objects or events in natural language to quickly find relevant footage. Visual feature matching connects appearances across camera views to reconstruct movement paths, helping operators search video and review events more efficiently.
The demonstrations run on YUAN AI computing platforms powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Super and NVIDIA Jetson Thor T5000 or T4000 modules. Using NVIDIA DeepStream and NVIDIA TensorRT for edge video processing and AI inference, YUAN will present simulated museum, transit station, night market and streetscape scenarios to illustrate applications for urban environments.

Natural Language Search Connects Video Across Cameras
Users can describe search criteria to the AI agent or start from a single video frame to find related footage across cameras, floors and time periods. The system analyzes visual attributes such as clothing, accessories and body shape, together with timestamps and camera locations, to associate appearances across views and reconstruct movement paths.
This helps operators understand where a target first appeared, which areas it passed through and where it was last seen. By reducing manual video review and comparison, the system helps teams establish the sequence of events more quickly. Matching performance depends on image quality, camera placement and site conditions.

Integrated Video Management and Spatial Context
YUAN SmartNVR provides multichannel viewing, recording, playback, and video and report export. VLM-generated event descriptions and alerts help operators stay informed about changes on-site.
The enhanced E-Map in YUAN SmartVMS brings building, road and geographic information into a unified spatial view. Operators can locate cameras and open relevant footage directly from the map, placing search results in context to improve navigation and event response across locations.

ProHawk AI Improves Visual Data Quality at the Edge
YUAN partner ProHawk AI will demonstrate its Computer Vision Management System ( CVMS ) integrated with the YUAN EYE6N0-I678 ONX intelligent camera. Powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX, the camera platform enables CVMS to identify and address visual degradation in real time at the edge, including low light, glare, weather, compression artifacts, packet loss and dropped frames. The integration helps deliver clearer, more reliable visual data for downstream AI analysis.
