Abstract
Surveillance systems are of vital importance for the development of smart cities. These systems can be considered vision organs of such cities. It is expected that a huge amount of data (Big Data) will be generated in smart cities. Therefore, to ensure the safety of its citizens, it is important to provide an efficient and real-time analysis of these data to get real-time responses, when catastrophic events occur. Accordingly, transmitting this massive data to the cloud, to be processed, is relatively slow. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to implement a fog/edge computing-based surveillance system to offer real-time data processing. When surveillance videos capture an incident, the data get transferred to the edge for processing. Moreover, a rapid response is then provided to properly handle the occasion. Furthermore, despite tackling scalability obstacles, the system should handle privacy-sensitive data to overcome the privacy challenges in smart cities.
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of the software design document (SDD) is to present the project ” Intelligent Surveillance for smart cities” thoroughly. SSD illustrates the framework and system design architecture of the proposed system. Moreover, the document provides a fully detailed system overview and scope besides stating the main objective of the system. The SDD document is considered a significant guide for the project team members and for the customer to be fully aware of the project. Also, for the developers to improve and develop the system in the future.
