A Video Surveillance System Based on Permissioned Blockchains and Edge Computing
Abstract
In recent decades, video surveillance systems have become an indispensable management tool for cities. Managers can grasp the information of the scene without visiting the scene. Through the surveillance system, the effect of management and supervision can be improved, and the probability of major accidents can be reduced. However, with the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) era, video surveillance systems will face challenges such as massive equipment access, massive data, insufficient bandwidth, vulnerable to attack, and real-time monitoring difficulties. Based on the analysis of the research and application status of video surveillance system, we propose a video surveillance system based on permissioned blockchains (BCs) and edge computing. The system uses permissioned BCs, edge computing, InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) technology and convolution neural networks (CNNs). The edge computing is used to achieve large-scale wireless sensor information acquisition and data processing. IPFS storage service is used to realize massive video data storage, and CNNs technology is used to realize real-time monitoring.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
