Scene Classification with Edge AI

Classifying entire camera frames into scene categories such as indoor vs outdoor, day vs night, crowded vs empty, or room type without detecting individual objects. Used for context-aware IoT devices that adapt behavior based on their environment — adjusting lighting, HVAC, or security modes automatically. Lower compute than object detection since the model outputs a single class label per frame with no localization required.
