Conventional surveillance systems for preventing accidents and incidents do not identify 95% thereof after 22 min when one person monitors a plurality of closed circuit televisions (CCTV). To address this issue, while computer-based intelligent video surveillance systems have been studied to notify users of abnormal situations when they happen, it is not commonly used in real environment because of weakness of personal information leaks and high power consumption. To address this issue, intelligent video surveillance systems based on small devices have been studied. This paper suggests implement an intelligent video surveillance system based on embedded modules for intruder detection based on information learning, fire detection based on color and motion information, and loitering and fall detection based on human body motion. Moreover, an algorithm and an embedded module optimization method are applied for real-time processing. The implemented algorithm showed performance of 88.51% for intruder detection, 92.63% for fire detection, 80% for loitering detection and 93.54% for fall detection. The result of comparison before and after optimization about the algorithm processing time showed 50.53% of decrease, implying potential real-time driving of the intelligent image monitoring system based on embedded modules.

Quick Response (QR) codes are designed for information storage and high-speed reading applications. To store additional information, Two-Level QR (2LQR) codes replace black modules in standard QR codes with specific texture patterns. When the 2LQR code is printed, texture patterns are blurred and their sizes are smaller than(0.5{mathrm{cm}}^{2}). Recognizing small-sized blurred texture patterns is challenging. In original 2LQR literature, recognition of texture patterns is based on maximizing the correlation between print-and-scanned texture patterns and the original digital ones. When employing desktop printers with large pixel extensions and low-resolution capture devices, the recognition accuracy of texture patterns greatly reduces. To improve the recognition accuracy under this situation, our work presents a dictionary learning based scheme to recognize printed texture patterns. To our best knowledge, it is the first attempt to use dictionary learning to promote the recognition accuracy of printed texture patterns. In our scheme, dictionaries for all kinds of texture patterns are learned from print-and-scanned texture modules in the training stage. And these learned dictionaries are employed to represent each texture module in the testing stage (extracting process) to recognize their texture pattern. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm significantly reduces the recognition error of small-sized printed texture patterns.

With regard to video streaming services under wireless networks, how to improve the quality of experience (QoE) has always been a challenging task. Especially after the arrival of the 5G era, more attention has been paid to analyze the experience quality of video streaming in more complex network scenarios (such as 5G-powered drone video transmission). Insufficient buffer in the video stream transmission process will cause the playback to freeze [1]. In order to cope with this defect, this paper proposes a buffer starvation evaluation model based on deep learning and a video stream scheduling model based on reinforcement learning. This approach uses the method of machine learning to extract the correlation between the buffer starvation probability distribution and the traffic load, thereby obtaining the explicit evaluation results of buffer starvation events and a series of resource allocation strategies that optimize long-term QoE. In order to deal with the noise problem caused by the random environment, the model introduces an internal reward mechanism in the scheduling process, so that the agent can fully explore the environment. Experiments have proved that our framework can effectively evaluate and improve the video service quality of 5G-powered UAV.
