Panorama: A Data System for Unbounded Vocabulary Querying over Video

Summary: Panorama is a domain-agnostic video-query system for unbounded vocabularies, avoiding manual retraining as target entities grow. Its integrated ML/vision/database architecture delivers 2–20× higher inference efficiency with comparable accuracy and strong generalization. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
