A Data Verification System for CCTV Surveillance Cameras Using Blockchain Technology in Smart Cities

Abstract

The video created by a surveillance cameras plays a crucial role in crime prevention and examinations in smart cities. The closed-circuit television camera (CCTV) is essential for a range of public uses in a smart city; combined with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies they can turn into smart sensors that help to ensure safety and security. However, the authenticity of the camera itself raises issues of building up integrity and suitability of data. In this paper, we present a blockchain-based system to guarantee the trustworthiness of the stored recordings, allowing authorities to validate whether or not a video has been altered. It helps to discriminate fake videos from original ones and to make sure that surveillance cameras are authentic. Since the distributed ledger of the blockchain records the metadata of the CCTV video as well, it is obstructing the chance of forgery of the data. This immutable ledger diminishes the risk of copyright encroachment for law enforcement agencies and clients users by securing possession and identity.

Smart Contract Centric Inference Engine For Intelligent Electric Vehicle Transportation System

“…Therefore, we have defined an individual data collection. According to the definition in the docker YAML file, each peer will connect to an independent CouchDB database [36]. The query command will get the endorsed result in the blockchain distributed ledger, but it will not generate or submit a transaction.…”

Upsampling Real-Time, Low-Resolution CCTV Videos Using Generative Adversarial Networks

“…They evaluated actions related to video synthesis and video prediction, and attained good results. Videos obtained by CCTV cameras play a vital role in crime prevention [8]. They solved the problem of natural video modeling by introducing GAN, which can handle the complexity of sizeable natural video datasets.…”

“…Let the spatial feature maps denoted by F S have c 1 channels and the temporal feature maps F T have c 2 channels. Then the concatenated feature maps F concat are defined as in Equation (8). where CF is the convolutional filter for temporal-spatial mapping and * is the convolutional operation with [,] being cross concatenation [17]…”

A Novel Blockchain-Based Integrity and Reliable Veterinary Clinic Information Management System Using Predictive Analytics for Provisioning of Quality Health Services

“…Blockchain technology is a secured and distributed ledger that stores and manages records of online financial transactions that cannot be manipulated. It is also referred to as Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) because it uses decentralization and cryptographic hashing mechanisms to record signed transactions between two parties [9], [10]. In the blockchain network, each online transaction is digitally signed by both parties to ensure its security and authenticity.…”
