Preface

This book aims to explore the various applications and use cases of Video Data Analytics and processing for Smart City Applications. Everyday things are embedded together with the help of software, and sensors through the internet to collect and exchange data. Hence these devices generate a massive amount of data. The smart city paradigm entirely depends on data. In the context of video data, cameras capture huge data, and later these video recordings are effectively used in various smart city applications such as surveillance systems to counter potential threats. The generated data is heterogeneous and sparse in most cases. The processing of this Big Data in real-time is a matter of concern. With the participation of multimedia sensors, it is possible to obtain more precise and concrete information. Enormous challenges come in the data collection, analysis, and distribution.Various trending technologies like Machine Learning and Deep Learning are contributing to real-time data processing. Hence, these technologies should also be explored for efficient processing.

The video analytics field is continuously in evolution, because of speedy hardware and software progress that is making the technology more reachable and valued. To transform a large amount of video into actionable intelligence as complementary mechanisms, an effective algorithm and model are required. The book will provide comprehensive coverage of the latest and trending technologies like machine learning, deep learning, blockchain, AI, etc.

The book will highlight the advances and trends in various technologies by targeting the research and industry that are involved in video data analytics via addressing extensive themes. This book will surely demonstrate how technologies are serving their use-cases in the smart city. Interested researchers and academicians will get to know about the latest happenings and research, and more research possibilities can be explored. The industry professional may also benefit from this book by connecting the research with industry needs. This book will be proven as a useful resource for the target audience by outlining the promising future research and providing references to newcomers in the field of video data analytics.
