“…For example, in simple and pure scenes, the big data platform can extract real feature information and obtain accurate detection results. In scenes with large traffic and a large number of facilities and obstacles, the detection accuracy of the algorithm will be affected by factors such as light and color, so it is difficult to obtain accurate detection results, and it is impossible to correctly distinguish the behavior of all people and effectively predict potential problems [9]. To solve these problems, we should start from the technical level and take three measures: image enhancement, image restoration, and image superresolution reconstruction to provide high-quality, high-resolution, and complete detailed video image data for the big data platform.…”

With the progress of society and the rapid development of science and technology, daily data volume also shows an exponential upward trend. From the research report of the Internet data center, we can see that the growth rate of data will change from the original slow growth to a sharp rise within 10 years. This shows that the era of big data has arrived, and video data plays an important role in it. Video comes from all aspects of life. As a typical unstructured data, video has the characteristics of large memory, and with the leap of society, this characteristic is becoming increasingly obvious. Taking video data analysis as the starting point, this paper proposes a long-term and short-term memory neural network integrating attention mechanism and verifies it in the experimental data set. The experiment shows that this method has superior performance in model accuracy and work efficiency. Therefore, the application of this method to the construction and application of video big data analysis platform is an important step to promote the development of smart cities.

“…One dossier focused on philosopher Denis Diderot; he was under surveillance because he was “a very clever boy but extremely dangerous” (p. 185). Scholars also looked at the management and evidentiary role of secret police records in the context of specific geopolitical areas, such as Eastern Europe in general (Gökariksel, 2020; Rady, 1991), in particular the Communist German Democratic Republic (Danielson, 2004; Jedlitschka, 2012; Lewis, 2021) and the Socialist Republic of Romania (Glajar, 2016, 2019; Petrescu, 2016, 2019), but also the 18 th- and 19th-century India (Bayly, 1996), the post-Saddam Hussein Iraq (Montgomery, 2001), the Popular Republic of China (Byler, 2022) or Puerto Rico (Blanco-Rivera, 2005).

Documents as weapons: secret police files in Communist and post-Communist Romania

PurposeThis study examined dossiers of informative pursual (DIPs), a particular type of secret police files, before and after the fall of Communism in Romania. These DIPs were often weaponized against citizens perceived to be anti-government.Design/methodology/approachBased on Buckland's (2017) concept of a document as an object with physical, mental and social parts, the study used thematic analysis to examine volumes of DIPs from 1945 to 1989 Communist Romania as well as several recorded reactions to the DIPs by the victims who were targeted by the Communist secret police.FindingsFour themes were revealed by the study's findings and discussed within the manuscript: DIPs as unreliable epistemic tools, DIPs as tools to construct the identity of the “People's Enemy,” DIPs as weapons to fight the “People's Enemy” and DIPs as tools that could be used in counterattacks during post-Communism, including in political-economic blackmailing.Research limitations/implicationsThere are two major limitations to research of DIPs. First, since many DIPs have been stolen, copied illicitly or even destroyed, it is difficult to articulate precisely their actual or potential social and political effects. Researchers may often detect these effects only indirectly, based on information leaks in the news. Second, many victims of surveillance practices during the Communist period have chosen not to leave records of their reactions to reading the DIPs that targeted them.Social implicationsCurrent and future comprehensive studies of DIPs can reveal possible parallels between surveillance by the Communist regime and the massive data-collection that occurs in democratic societies, particularly given the increased technical capabilities for processing data in these democratic societies.Originality/valueWithin documentation studies, secret police files and document weaponization have been particularly under-researched, therefore this study contributes to a small body of literature.
