Visual Blockchain for Intelligent Surveillance in a Smart City

Abstract

Visual blockchain takes the idea of how to output accurate intelligent surveillance data by using computational methods in a smart city. Intelligent surveillance provides location-based visualization from different cameras which are deployed in the smart city. It may result in limited tamper-resistance of the gathered data from cameras. The decentralized nature of blockchain is to integrate video frames as data output by surveillance systems over the smart city by the way of selecting the most appropriate cryptographical algorithms using blockchain prototype to create sustainable computation method of visual blockchain and make reliable solutions for the existing solutions. In this chapter, the contributions are to enrich the blockchain security shield by using the most appropriate cryptographic algorithm to achieve each unique task and create a web-based image prototype through the visual blockchain to minimize the gaps in intelligent surveillance.
