Ubiquitous Visual Surveillance for Public Security

With the increasing sophistication and diversity of threats of crime and terrorism to public security, it is critical for the research community to develop and deploy reliable, secure, and efficient visual surveillance applications in smart cities (the focus of the special issue). When designing the next generation security solutions, we need to consider and integrate existing technological trends. For example, the convergence of cloud computing and smart networked cameras is vital for developing such intelligent surveillance systems. This special issue will serve as a platform to publish state-of-the-art advancements in this domain of research.
