Design and Performance Evaluation of an AI-Based W-Band Suspicious Object Detection System for Moving Persons in the IoT Paradigm

Abstract

The threat of terrorism has spread all over the world, and the situation has become grave. Suspicious object detection in the Internet of Things (IoT) is an effective way to respond to global terrorist attacks. The traditional solution requires performing security checks one by one at the entrance of each gate, resulting in bottlenecks and crowding. In the IoT paradigm, it is necessary to be able to perform suspicious object detection on moving people. Artificial intelligence (AI) and millimeter-wave imaging are advanced technologies in the global security field. However, suspicious object detection for moving persons in the IoT, which requires the integration of many different imaging technologies, is still a challenge in both academia and industry. Furthermore, increasing the recognition rate of suspicious objects and controlling network congestion are two main issues for such a suspicious object detection system. In this paper, an AI-based W-band suspicious object detection system for moving persons in the IoT paradigm is designed and implemented. In this system, we establish a suspicious object database to support AI technology for improving the probability of identifying suspicious objects. Moreover, we propose an efficient transmission mechanism to reduce system network congestion since a massive amount of data will be generated by 4K cameras during real-time monitoring. The evaluation results indicate that the advantages and efficiency of the proposed scheme are significant.INDEX TERMS Suspicious object detection, moving persons, artificial intelligence, millimeter-wave imaging, network congestion control, Internet of Things.

Edge AI for Real-Time Video Analytics in Surveillance Systems

“…The incorporation of edge AI technology has emerged as a game changer for real-time video analytics in surveillance systems. It is now simpler and more effective to process video data in a decentralized network for use in a surveillance system due to the increased use of AI technologies and IoT devices (Yu et al, 2020).…”

“…Surveillance systems can benefit greatly from utilizing the computational power of edge devices and integrating AI models right inside of them. [2];One of these is a significant decrease in latency, which guarantees that crucial insights are generated in real-time and enables quicker response times to security incidents. [8]; Furthermore, Edge AI solutions significantly lessen the need for cloud resources, reducing bandwidth snarls and providing more affordable and scalable security systems.…”

Fitness Monitoring System Based on Internet of Things and Big Data Analysis

“…The perception layer is mainly responsible for perception and data collection. It senses and monitors surrounding things and events through sensor collection nodes and obtains corresponding data [36][37][38]. It lies at the bottom of the three-tier system architecture of the Internet of Things.…”

Coded-Aperture Computational Millimeter-Wave Image Classifier Using Convolutional Neural Network

“…Various image processing techniques have been demonstrated on mmW images such as compressive sensing [13], [14], super-resolution [15], [16], denoising and image enhancement [17], [18]. Classification techniques on such images have been previously explored [19], [20], although the literature on these techniques is still scarce. The majority of classification research focuses on generating images with systems using traditional imaging techniques, relying on a raster scanning principle, i.e.…”
