ABSTRACT
58Video surveillance is an integrated system with strong prevention capabilities, and it is widely used by the military, customs, police, firefighting, airports, railways, urban transport, and many other public places. It is an important part of any security system because of its visualized, accurate, timely, and rich information content. With the high-speed development of accessing and producing data, a new research area named Big Data is emerging. The existing computing infrastructure, software systems design, and application cases cannot manage and process Big Data. With the pervasiveness of the definition of the smart city, the public security surveillance system composed of a huge number of video surveillance devices, such as surveillance cameras (some statistics suggest that the number of public security surveillance cameras in Shanghai 1 is 500,000), boomed rapidly and produced a huge amount of data. The data volume of all video surveillance devices in Shanghai is up to the TB scale every day. In this chapter, three aspects are introduced, including (a) the intelligent analysis of video surveillance systems, (b) Big Data analysis of video surveillance systems, and (c) the application of video surveillance systems.
