Special Issue on Pattern Recognition in Real-Time Video Surveillance Systems Using Soft Computing
Día de Entrega: 2024-11-30

Aim and Scope

Real-time video surveillance systems have created pattern recognition, a crucial feature in today's security infrastructure. These systems can quickly collect and analyse video data to identify and anticipate unusual behaviour or possible safety threats using soft computing approaches. The increasing interest in enhanced security in both public and private areas has led to a significant demand for advanced video surveillance systems. Traditional methods often fail in two domains such as large data sets and changing situations. Soft computing approaches are perfect for real-time surveillance applications because they are flexible, robust, and have the capacity to learn from data. Integrating pattern recognition in video surveillance for enhancing video quality and filtering noise through preprocessing, capturing video footage with cameras, finding relevant features from the video frames, and utilizing algorithms to detect patterns and anomalies.
Advanced technologies are used by video surveillance systems to effectively recognize things and identify patterns. They use support vector machines to classify objects, genetic algorithms to improve detection accuracy, and fuzzy logic to handle uncertainty in video data. For optimal performance, several systems combine these techniques. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), is a type of deep learning model, utilized for tasks including object detection in motion pictures and facial recognition. Edge computing reduces latency and internet consumption by processing data closer to its source. YOLO and Faster R-CNN are two examples of innovative neural network designs that have improved object detection capabilities significantly. The combination of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and video surveillance has improved monitoring capabilities, increasing the effectiveness and responsiveness of surveillance.

Future developments in AI and machine learning, such as more efficient real-time analytics algorithms, increased accuracy with less false positives, and the development of fully autonomous surveillance systems that make decisions without the need for human intervention, may be facilitated by pattern recognition in video surveillance. Despite its potential, it has several challenges include ensuring data privacy, handling massive amounts of data and large-scale deployments, and adapting to various conditions. To overcome these challenges, advanced encryption is required to protect data, creating scalable and flexible modular systems, and incorporating adaptive algorithms to learn continuously and evolve with new data. However, the field of security is being revolutionized by pattern recognition in real-time video surveillance systems using soft computing.

Special Issue on Information Centric Wireless Communication (ICWC) with Edge Fog Computing for 5G and beyond IoT Applications
Día de Entrega: 2024-12-31

Aim and Scope

With the growing number of connected devices and the increasing volume of data generated by IoT applications, traditional network architectures are unable to handle the data traffic efficiently. Edge fog computing provides a distributed computing infrastructure at the edge of the network, enabling data to be processed and analyzed closer to the source, reducing latency and improving network performance. Additionally, ICWC allows for content-centric communication, enabling more efficient data distribution and reducing network congestion, making it a critical technology for enabling the success of 5G and beyond IoT applications. The combination of ICWC and edge fog computing is particularly suited for IoT applications, where data is generated and consumed at the edge of the network. For example, in smart homes, sensors generate data that needs to be processed and analyzed in real-time to enable automation and control. With ICWC and edge fog computing, the processing and analysis can be done at the edge of the network, reducing the need for data to be transmitted to a centralized server, which can be slow and unreliable.

On the other hand, ICWC and edge fog computing also offer several benefits for 5G applications, such as ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) and massive machine-type communication (mMTC). In URLLC applications, such as remote surgery and autonomous vehicles, low latency is critical for ensuring real-time communication and decision-making. With edge fog computing, data can be processed and analyzed closer to the source, reducing latency and improving network performance. Similarly, in mMTC applications, such as smart cities and industrial automation, ICWC can enable efficient data distribution and reduce network congestion. One of the challenges of implementing ICWC with edge fog computing is the need for a new network architecture that supports content-centric communication. This requires new protocols and standards for data naming, caching, and distribution, as well as a distributed computing infrastructure at the edge of the network. Additionally, privacy and security concerns must be addressed to ensure that data is protected and only accessed by authorized parties.

This special issue on Information Centric Wireless Communication with Edge Fog Computing for 5G and beyond IoT applications aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their latest findings, innovations, and challenges related to the development, deployment, and evaluation of Information Centric Wireless Communication with Edge Fog Computing for 5G and beyond IoT applications. The special issue welcomes contributions that focus on novel protocols, architectures, algorithms, and use cases related to ICWC and edge fog computing, and encourages interdisciplinary research that addresses the technical, social, economic, and environmental aspects of the technology. The goal is to advance the state-of-the-art in ICWC and edge fog computing, and to facilitate the integration of these technologies into practical applications and systems that can benefit society and the industry.
