## 💻 Usage

### Quick Start
```python
import torch
import torchvision.transforms as transforms
from pathlib import Path

# Load the model
model = torch.load('model.pth', map_location='cpu')
model.eval()

# Preprocessing pipeline
transform = transforms.Compose([
    transforms.Resize((224, 224)),
    transforms.ToTensor(),
    transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406], 
                        std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
])

# Inference function
def predict_crime(video_frames):
    """
    Predict if video contains criminal activity

    Args:
        video_frames: List of PIL Images or torch.Tensor

    Returns:
        dict: {
            'prediction': 'crime' or 'normal',
            'confidence': float,
            'f1_score': 0.8528
        }
    """
    with torch.no_grad():
        if isinstance(video_frames, list):
            # Process frame sequence
            frames = torch.stack([transform(frame) for frame in video_frames])
            frames = frames.unsqueeze(0)  # Add batch dimension
        else:
            frames = video_frames

        # Model prediction
        outputs = model(frames)
        probabilities = torch.softmax(outputs, dim=1)
        predicted_class = torch.argmax(probabilities, dim=1)
        confidence = torch.max(probabilities, dim=1)[0]

        return {
            'prediction': 'crime' if predicted_class.item() == 1 else 'normal',
            'confidence': confidence.item(),
            'model_f1': 0.8528
        }

# Example usage
# result = predict_crime(your_video_frames)
# print(f"Prediction: {result['prediction']} (Confidence: {result['confidence']:.3f})")
```

### Advanced Usage with Video Loading
```python
import cv2
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image

def load_video_frames(video_path, max_frames=16):
    """Load video frames for crime detection"""
    cap = cv2.VideoCapture(video_path)
    frames = []

    frame_count = int(cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT))
    step = max(1, frame_count // max_frames)

    for i in range(0, frame_count, step):
        cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES, i)
        ret, frame = cap.read()
        if ret:
            frame = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
            frames.append(Image.fromarray(frame))

        if len(frames) >= max_frames:
            break

    cap.release()
    return frames

# Process video file
video_frames = load_video_frames("path/to/video.mp4")
result = predict_crime(video_frames)
```

## 🎓 Training Details

## 🔬 Evaluation Methodology

### Metrics Used:
- **Primary**: F1 Score (harmonic mean of precision and recall)
- **Secondary**: Accuracy, Precision, Recall, AUC-ROC
- **Validation**: Stratified K-fold cross-validation
- **Testing**: Hold-out test set with balanced classes

### Model Selection:
- Best model selected based on validation F1 score
- Early stopping to prevent overfitting
- Ensemble methods considered for final predictions

## ⚠️ Limitations and Considerations

### Model Limitations:
1. **Domain Specificity**: Trained specifically on surveillance footage
2. **Temporal Resolution**: Performance may vary with video quality/length
3. **Cultural Context**: Training data primarily from specific geographical regions
4. **False Positives**: May flag intense but legal activities (sports, protests)

### Ethical Considerations:
- **Privacy**: Ensure compliance with local privacy laws
- **Bias**: May exhibit biases present in training data
- **Accountability**: Human oversight recommended for critical decisions
- **Transparency**: Provide clear information about model limitations to users

### Recommended Use Cases:
✅ **Appropriate**: Surveillance assistance, forensic analysis, research  
⚠️ **Caution Required**: Real-time law enforcement, automated decision-making  
❌ **Not Recommended**: Sole basis for legal proceedings, unsupervised deployment

## 🚀 Deployment Recommendations

### Production Deployment:
- **Latency**: ~100-200ms per video (depending on hardware)
- **Memory**: ~2-4GB GPU memory
- **Throughput**: ~5-10 videos/second (batch processing)

### Integration Options:
- REST API deployment
- Edge computing integration
- Real-time streaming analysis
- Batch processing systems
