Abstract:
Smart cities aim to reach a high quality of life for their citizens using digital infrastructure which in turn need to be sustainable, secure, and explainable. For this purpose, this work is about the development of an explainable-by-design smart security application which involves an intelligent vision system capable of running on a small, low-powered edge computing device. Hence, the device provides facial recognition and motion detection functionality to any electronic motion picture input such as CCTV camera feed or video. It highlights the practicality and usability of the device through a support application. Our resulting explainable edge computing system has been successfully applied in context of smart security in smart cities.
