    22== Cameras
    3 === Installed Cameras Information
     3
     4Video cameras are particularly useful for collecting data in smart cities. They facilitate detection and tracking of vehicles, pedestrians and other objects by feeding videos into AI-enabled cloud compute servers. COSMOS nodes in New York City are equipped with cameras to facilitate research on a variety of smart city applications. COSMOS pilot site contains four permanently installed cameras which are recording scenes at the intersection of 120th street and Amsterdam Avanue.
     5
     6Installation and management of cameras at the COSMOS pilot site, and processing of collected data has been supported by a number of students at Columbia University.

    2532=== Anonymization Workflow for 1st and 2nd-floor Cameras
    26 Videos in this directory are outputs of the COSMOS YOLOv4 blurring pipeline.
     33
     3412-th floor cameras capture images of cars and pedestrians such that neither faces nor license plates can be recognized - therefore there is no need for post-processing for privacy protection.
     35
     36Videos from the 1st and 2nd floor, saved in this directory, are the outputs of the COSMOS YOLOv4 blurring pipeline.
    2737
    2838Faces and license plates are anonymized with Gaussian blurred areas defined by bounding box detection coordinates. A high-level overview of the blurring is as follows:

    36     2.2 Passed through the YOLOv4 model which outputs bounding box predictions
     46    2.2 Processed by the YOLOv4 model which outputs bounding box predictions for pedestrians, pedestrian faces, vehicles, vehicle license plates (and other objects)
