A reliability measure for smart surveillance systems

Abstract

We present a reliability measure for smart surveillance systems, taking into account the adversarial nature of intrusion. Our approach is based on percolation theory and is a generalisation of Hamedmoghadam et al.'s reliability measure. Specifically, our approach incorporates a customisable cost function to allow modelling a diverse range of situations, such as access restrictions, monitoring, and failures. We demonstrate our approach by applying it to a digital twin of a smart building, albeit challenges remain in estimating and modelling the key parameters needed.
