In times of societal crises (health, security, etc.), the need for security among individuals and societies tends to grow. One of the emerging technologies that can contribute to a high agility of territories in front of abnormal events is intelligent video surveillance. This technology deploys machine-learning and deep-learning algorithms to automate complex tasks such as person detection, action recognition, tracking of individuals, etc. Although these systems have demonstrated high capabilities to solve large-scale problems, their democratization is still limited.
