Sandifort, Maguell L.T.L., Liu, Jianquan, Nishimura, Shoji, Hürst, Wolfgang.  2018.  VisLoiter+: An Entropy Model-Based Loiterer Retrieval System with User-Friendly Interfaces. Proceedings of the 2018 ACM on International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval. :505–508.

It is very difficult to fully automate the detection of loitering behavior in video surveillance, therefore humans are often required for monitoring. Alternatively, we could provide a list of potential loiterer candidates for a final yes/no judgment of a human operator. Our system, VisLoiter+, realizes this idea with a unique, user-friendly interface and by employing an entropy model for improved loitering analysis. Rather than using only frequency of appearance, we expand the loiter analysis with new methods measuring the amount of person movements across multiple camera views. The interface gives an overview of loiterer candidates to show their behavior at a glance, complemented by a lightweight video playback for further details about why a candidate was selected. We demonstrate that our system outperforms state-of-the-art solutions using real-life data sets.

Patra, M. K..  2017.  An architecture model for smart city using Cognitive Internet of Things (CIoT). 2017 Second International Conference on Electrical, Computer and Communication Technologies (ICECCT). :1–6.

In this paper, a distributed architecture for the implementation of smart city has been proposed to facilitate various smart features like solid waste management, efficient urban mobility and public transport, smart parking, robust IT connectivity, safety and security of citizens and a roadmap for achieving it. How massive volume of IoT data can be analyzed and a layered architecture of IoT is explained. Why data integration is important for analyzing and processing of data collected by the different smart devices like sensors, actuators and RFIDs is discussed. The wireless sensor network can be used to sense the data from various locations but there has to be more to it than stuffing sensors everywhere for everything. Why only the sensor is not sufficient for data collection and how human beings can be used to collect data is explained. There is some communication protocols between the volunteers engaged in collecting data to restrict the sharing of data and ensure that the target area is covered with minimum numbers of volunteers. Every volunteer should cover some predefined area to collect data. Then the proposed architecture model is having one central server to store all data in a centralized server. The data processing and the processing of query being made by the user is taking place in centralized server.
