Local image processing in distributed monitoring system

In this paper an approach to local image processing in distributed monitoring systems is considered. The proposed approach makes possible to optimize traffic transmitted from monitoring devices generating images or video streams. Image processing, object recognition and identification are performed locally. Based on information received from all monitoring devices, including images, event logs are generated locally for their further transmission to the central data collection, processing and analysis unit. The method of local image processing was tested on the example of face recognition of people who took part in the experiment. Under various experimental conditions, it was found that the proposed method has a sufficiently high accuracy.
