ARTEMIS-AI — Complete Multi-Technology Surveillance & Intelligence System

ARTEMIS-AI is a full-scale AI-powered surveillance and intelligence system designed to demonstrate how modern security, monitoring, and analysis platforms are built using multiple technologies working together.

The project combines computer vision, artificial intelligence, backend services, system orchestration, and configuration-driven design into a single modular architecture. It focuses on real-world system thinking, not just isolated AI models.

ARTEMIS-AI is built as a learning-oriented yet production-inspired project, suitable for academic evaluation, portfolio demonstration, and advanced system design practice.

🎯 Project Objective

• The primary goal of ARTEMIS-AI is to design and implement a scalable, modular surveillance framework that can:
• Capture and process visual or data streams
• Perform AI-based analysis and detection
• Handle backend intelligence and decision logic
• Provide structured outputs such as alerts, logs, and dashboards
• Allow future expansion without rewriting the core system
• Rather than focusing on a single algorithm, the project emphasizes end-to-end system integration.

🚀 Key Features

• AI-based Surveillance & Monitoring - Uses artificial intelligence to analyze incoming data streams for meaningful patterns and events.

• Computer Vision Integration - Supports visual data processing such as object detection, tracking, and inference.

• Modular Multi-Service Architecture - Each component (vision, backend, frontend, configuration) is isolated and replaceable.

• Backend Intelligence Layer - Handles decision making, event handling, logging, and system coordination.

• Configuration-Driven Design - Models, thresholds, and system behavior can be controlled using JSON configuration files.

• Dockerized Deployment Support - Enables consistent and repeatable system execution across environments.

• Scalable & Extensible - New models, data sources, or services can be added with minimal changes.

⚙️ Installation & Setup

1️⃣ Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/arshdeepsarsh/ARTEMIS-AI-Complete-Multi-Technology-Surveillance-System.git
cd ARTEMIS-AI-Complete-Multi-Technology-Surveillance-System

---

2️⃣ Create a Virtual Environment

python -m venv venv

---

Activate it:

Windows

venv\Scripts\activate

Mac / Linux

source venv/bin/activate

---

3️⃣ Install Backend Dependencies

pip install -r backend/requirements.txt

Additional dependencies for vision or frontend components can be installed as required.

▶️ Running the System

🔹 Local Execution (Basic Mode)

python backend/main.py

This starts the backend intelligence layer for development and testing.
