# Vision Microservices

The Vision Microservices extract rich visual features, semantic embeddings, and natural
language understanding from video. Each is a standalone, GPU-accelerated microservice
with documented REST and MCP interfaces, and can be deployed independently or composed
into an agent workflow.

* [Object Detection and Tracking](/system-components/vision-microservices/object-detection-and-tracking) - Real-time object detection, classification, and multi-object tracking on single or multi-camera streams.
* [Real-Time VLM](/system-components/vision-microservices/real-time-vlm) - Vision Language Models that generate captions, detect incidents, and identify anomalies in video streams.
* [Video Embedding Generation](/system-components/vision-microservices/video-embedding-generation) - Semantic embeddings from video, images, and live RTSP streams for search and similarity matching.
* [Video Summarization](/system-components/vision-microservices/video-summarization) - Analysis and summarization of extended video recordings through chunking and aggregation of dense captions.
