NVIDIA Blueprint for Video Search and Summarization (VSS)#

The NVIDIA Blueprint for Video Search and Summarization (VSS) provides a suite of reference architectures for building vision agents and AI-powered video analytics applications. These reference architectures include accelerated vision-based microservices, VLMs, and LLMs which can be used in your existing applications, as standalone microservices, or as part of a larger vision agent built using the blueprint.

VSS High Level Architecture

Core Documentation#

The VSS Core Documentation provides comprehensive technical guidance for deploying, configuring, and extending the VSS platform. It covers the complete system architecture, including real-time vision microservices for object detection, VLM-based analytics, and video embedding generation; downstream analytics for behavior analysis and alert verification; and agentic workflows for video search, summarization, and question-answering.

VSS Blueprints#

VSS provides industry-specific blueprints that demonstrate end-to-end reference architectures for key verticals. Each blueprint extends the core VSS platform with specialized workflows, configurations, and domain-specific features to accelerate development and deployment for targeted use cases:
