Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for deploying applications within a wireless network infrastructure, including initiating, by a centralized control module in a pre-configured hardware unit having a 5G wireless communication module, edge computing device, centralized control module, and data processing module with access to cloud resources, a setup procedure upon receiving a deployment command, the setup procedure including activating the 5G wireless communication module to establish a network connection. User equipment for communication with sensors and cameras is deployed using an edge device through the network connection. Application deployment is managed using a centralized control module including an edge cloud optimizer for allocating resources between an edge computing device and the cloud resources based on real-time analysis of network conditions and application requirements. Computing resource allocation between the edge computing device and cloud resources is dynamically adjusted for application requirements and network conditions during automated application deployment and optimization.

Abstract: A method for real-time cross-spectral object association and depth estimation is presented. The method includes synthesizing, by a cross-spectral generative adversarial network (CS-GAN), visual images from different data streams obtained from a plurality of different types of sensors, applying a feature-preserving loss function resulting in real-time pairing of corresponding cross-spectral objects, and applying dual bottleneck residual layers with skip connections to accelerate real-time inference and to accelerate convergence during model training.

Abstract: A method for implementing a self-optimized video analytics pipeline is presented. The method includes decoding video files into a sequence of frames, extracting features of objects from one or more frames of the sequence of frames of the video files, employing an adaptive resource allocation component based on reinforcement learning (RL) to dynamically balance resource usage of different microservices included in the video analytics pipeline, employing an adaptive microservice parameter tuning component to balance accuracy and performance of a microservice of the different microservices, applying a graph-based filter to minimize redundant computations across the one or more frames of the sequence of frames, and applying a deep-learning-based filter to remove unnecessary computations resulting from mismatches between the different microservices in the video analytics pipeline.

Abstract: Methods and systems for transmission over a heterogeneous network include determining a path through a first network, including collecting quality of service (QoS) parameters for network devices in the path. The QoS parameters of the network devices are configured to provide a predetermined QoS assurance across the path. A network flow is transmitted from a network slice of a second network through the first network, along the path.

Abstract: A method for automatically adjusting camera parameters to improve video analytics accuracy during continuously changing environmental conditions is presented. The method includes capturing a video stream from a plurality of cameras, performing video analytics tasks on the video stream, the video analytics tasks defined as analytics units (AUs), applying image processing to the video stream to obtain processed frames, filtering the processed frames through a filter to discard low-quality frames and dynamically fine-tuning parameters of the plurality of cameras. The fine-tuning includes passing the filtered frames to an AU-specific proxy quality evaluator, employing State-Action-Reward-State-Action (SARSA) reinforcement learning (RL) computations to automatically fine-tune the parameters of the plurality of cameras, and based on the reinforcement computations, applying a new policy for an agent to take actions and learn to maximize a reward.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing communications include identifying a system condition in a distributed computing system comprising a first microservice in communication with a second microservice. A communications method is identified responsive to the identified system condition using a reinforcement learning model that associates communication methods with system conditions. The identified communications method is implemented for communications between the first microservice and the second microservice, such that the first microservice and the second microservice use the identified communications method to transmit data.

Abstract: A method for tracing individuals through physical spaces that includes registering cameras in groupings relating a physical space. The method further includes performing local video monitoring including a video sensor input that outputs frames from inputs from recording with the cameras in the groupings, a face detection application for extracting faces from the output frames, and a face matching application for matching faces extracted from the output frames to a watchlist, and a local movement monitor that assigns tracks to the matched faces. The method further includes performing a global monitor including a biometrics monitor for preparing the watchlist of faces, the watchlist of faces being updated when a new face is detected by the cameras in the groupings, and a global movement monitor that combines the outputs from the assigned tracks to the matched faces to launch a report regarding individual population traveling to the physical spaces.
