An efficient framework using visual recognition for IoT based smart city surveillance

摘要

Smart city surveillance systems are the battery operated light weight Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In such devices, automatic face recognition requires a low powered memory efficient visual computing system. For these real time applications in smart cities, efficient visual recognition systems are need of the hour. In this manuscript, efficient fast subspace decomposition over Chi Square transformation is proposed for IoT based on smart city surveillance systems. The proposed technique extracts the features for visual recognition using local binary pattern histogram. The redundant features are discarded by applying the fast subspace decomposition over the Gaussian distributed Local Binary Pattern (LBP) features. This redundancy is major contributor to memory and time consumption for battery based surveillance systems. The proposed technique is suitable for all visual recognition applications deployed in IoT based surveillance devices due to higher dimension reduction. The validation of proposed technique is proved on the basis of well-known databases. The technique shows significant results for all databases when implemented on Raspberry Pi. A comparison of the proposed technique with already existing/reported techniques for the similar applications has been provided. Least error rate is achieved by the proposed technique with maximum feature reduction in minimum time for all the standard databases. Therefore, the proposed algorithm is useful for real time visual recognition for smart city surveillance.
