A Video Analytics-Based Intelligent Indoor Positioning System Using Edge Computing For IoT
Abstract
In the context of Internet of Things (IoT) environments, obtaining the target's location information by analyzing a large number of video data captured by widely distributed camera nodes shows a good development prospect. As far as video analytics is concerned, for the purpose of reducing high processing costs and transmission time of video data, it is an effective solution to offload computing from the cloud to edge devices. In this paper, we design a four-layer video analytics architecture with the concept of edge computing and adopt the lightweight virtualization provided by the container technology to modularize the video analytics process. Based on the proposed architecture, an video analytics-based intelligent indoor positioning system is implemented. The proposed system can provide centimeter-level positioning accuracy and, at the same time, has a lower response delay than traditional cloud computing model. The experimental results show that, high-precision location information could be obtained with the help of billions of camera nodes, while for the large-scale video analytics, the usage of edge computing has great potentials.

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.
