Abstract
In today's linked world, essential infrastructure must be protected from unauthorized access. Traditional security measures often depend on closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems for perimeter monitoring. However, developing technologies provide substantial opportunity for improving security standards. This study presents a novel technique for achieving enhanced real-time, long-range object monitoring capabilities by combining modern edge computing and a varied spectrum of sensors, including LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and ultrasonic sensors. LiDAR and ultrasonic sensors outperform traditional video cameras by offering real-time, long-range object monitoring capabilities, making them suitable for critical infrastructure security. However, these sensors create complex 3D point cloud data, which presents issues for data transmission and storage. To overcome this problem, we suggest implementing an enhanced edge computing architecture. The suggested architecture optimizes data transmission by compressing and centralizing point cloud data at the network's edge. This strategy reduces the demand on network resources by transferring computing activities to edge devices, allowing for real-time monitoring. Furthermore, the optimized data is smoothly transported to cost-effective Cloud-based servers provide effective resource utilization while protecting the security system. This research not only introduces a novel security paradigm for critical infrastructure but also contributes to the wider discourse on edge computing applications. By combining advanced sensors and edge computing technology, our approach not only enhances security but also ensures scalability, cost-effectiveness, and real-time responsiveness. The findings of this study have significant. Implications for the design and implementation of future security systems, emphasizing the importance of leveraging cutting-edge technologies to safeguard vital assets and infrastructure.
