With the aim of maximizing the number of deployable units whilekeeping monetary and resource/bandwidth costs at a minimum, the surveillance platform isbased on the usage of inexpensive visual sensors which apply efficient motion detectionand tracking algorithms to transform the video signal in a set of motion parameters. Inorder to automate the analysis of the myriad of data streams generated by the visualsensors, the platform’s control center includes an alarm detection engine which comprisesthree components applying three different Artificial Intelligence strategies in parallel.These strategies are generic, domain-independent approaches which are able to operate inseveral domains (traffic surveillance, vandalism prevention, perimeter security, etc.). Thearchitecture is completed with a versatile communication network which facilitates datacollection from the visual sensors and alarm and video stream distribution towards theemergency teams. The resulting surveillance system is extremely suitable for itsdeployment in metropolitan areas, smart cities, and large facilities, mainly because cheapvisual sensors and autonomous alarm detection facilitate dense sensor network deploymentsfor wide and detailed covera PB MDPI SN 1424-8220 YR 2013 FD 2013 LK https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/57657 UL https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/57657 LA eng NO Sensors, 2013, vol. 13, n. 6, p. 7414-7442 NO Producción Científica DS UVaDOC RD 06-oct-2024
