Person identification by smart cameras

Abstract

A smart city has to be a safe city. By recent terroristic attacks at Berlin, Brussel and Bordeaux the feeling of insecurity has been increased by many citizens. There is a call for smart surveillance cameras all over the city. Up to now surveillance cameras were not preferred by citizens because cameras threaten privacy of citizens. But privacy seems to be overruled by security. At this moment the video footage of cameras are analyzed after aggressive, criminal acts. There is a need for real time processing to capture criminals during or shortly after the criminal act. In this paper we discuss the use of surveillance cameras to localize and recognize faces from suspect individuals.
