about enhancing the quality of life and security .
We ’ ve done several projects around smart cities . These cities typically have cameras which capture so much information , but it ’ s too much information to take any action . “ The idea is to distribute some of the compute capability throughout the environment , process the information locally , detect , for example , if somebody is standing in the street with the two hands in the air , that might be a moment of interest and at that point , the video is related to a central operation centre for a human to look at . Is it just kids playing , or is it a robbery ?
“ The point is how do I improve the security of the city and how do I improve the quality of life by optimising the traffic flow within a city ?
“ Well , one use case is Barcelona , where visually impaired people can walk down the street using glasses with cameras on them . Using a Motorola phone which relays to a private 5G network , the cameras capture the video feed in real-time , relaying this to a few 100 metres at the servers on the corner of the street .” datacentremagazine . com 19
