A Cloud-Based Architecture for Smart Video Surveillance

Abstract

ABSTRACT:Turning a city into a smart city has attracted considerable attention. A smart city can be seen as a city that uses digital technology not only to improve the quality of people's life, but also, to have a positive impact in the environment and, at the same time, offer efficient and easy-to-use services. A fundamental aspect to be considered in a smart city is people's safety and welfare, therefore, having a good security system becomes a necessity, because it allows us to detect and identify potential risk situations, and then take appropriate decisions to help people or even prevent criminal acts. In this paper we present an architecture for automated video surveillance based on the cloud computing schema capable of acquiring a video stream from a set of cameras connected to the network, process that information, detect, label and highlight security-relevant events automatically, store the information and provide situational awareness in order to minimize response time to take the appropriate action.

Technological innovation in policing and crime prevention: Practitioner perspectives from London

“…Another advantage that operators saw in technology was that maintenance and troubleshooting could be improved as most software issues could be fixed remotely and only required one call to the company running the system. This advantage, especially prevalent in cloud-based systems (Valentín et al, 2017), meant that lengthy repair processes could in many cases be foregone and issues of data storage and loss to a large extent ruled out.…”

“…Although the academic literature proposes some solutions to this problem, such as customisable plug-and-play solutions (Baldoni et al, 2017), they rarely reflect the realities of CCTV control rooms as bottlenecks of multi-agency collaboration. Proposals of single system architectures or platforms for smart interventions, as proposed by de Diego et al (2018) or Valentín et al (2017), are thus often hard to set up under real conditions.…”

“…In addition, as a result of video analysis it is possible to obtain explanations of what is happening in a monitored area, and then take the appropriate action based on that interpretation. On the other hand, with this approach they are also able to add different kind of sensors besides cameras, this method provided a management panel digital devices as in a IoT framework [25].…”

“…Valentin et al [20] talked about the FIWARE platform which will act as a middleware stand. According to the European Union, it was made with the idea for expansion and worldwide arrangement.…”
