* A connected vehicle (car) that with the support of 5G, MEC and artificial intelligence technologies is able to capture information from the surrounding environment and feed a smart platform with this information which can predict and adopt several actions for the good of people.
A computer vision platform or ecosystem that utilizes 5G, edge computing, and AI to handle
multiple video stream sources from various devices such as drones, fixed cameras, and IoT
sensors. This platform aims to enable the application of different AI detection and analytic
models based on user selection. The inference process takes place at the edge, where
computational resources are shared to execute AI models relevant to different scenarios,
including forest fire and smoke detection, wildlife control, and deforestation.
The key components and functionalities of this computer vision platform can be described as
follows:

* The information retrieved by the car and sent to the platform is collected by three different ways:
The key components and functionalities of this computer vision platform can be described as
** '''camera:''' the car is equipped with a camera that sends a video stream to the edge over which is executed an AI inference algorithm to detect several patterns and generate information packages relevant to the smart platform.
follows:
** '''sensors:''' the car is equipped with several sensors (temperature, humidity, …) that can create heat maps with this information to the smart platform.
* Video Stream Management: The platform receives and manages multiple video
** '''the smart environment itself'''. In regions/areas where the information sources are isolated (low power, low signal quality, bad coverage due maintenance, weather conditions, etc), the car can act like a link between the information source and the smart environment platform, uploading this information in the next available coverage area crossed by the car in its route.
streams and information from diverse sources, such as drones, fixed cameras, and IoT
sensors. These streams are transmitted via the high-speed and low-latency capabilities
of a 5G network.


* Every information contribution to the smart environment could be rewarded with points that can be exchanged with tax discounts, for example, guaranteeing the participation of the people establishing missions with a different degree of value.  
* IoT Events Management: The platform receives and manages multiple events from
devices placed on the ground to add information to the use cases in the described
scenario.  


* Every connected car can register on the smart environment platform and provide several information about the environment and people.  
* Edge Computing: The platform leverages edge computing infrastructure, which brings
</p>
computational resources closer to the video sources. This allows for real-time analysis
and decision-making at the network edge, reducing the need for data transmission to a
central server or cloud. Edge computing facilitates faster response times and more
efficient resource utilization.


* AI Detection and Analytic Models: The platform supports the selection and deployment
of different AI detection and analytic models based on specific requirements. For
example, models can be chosen for forest fire and smoke detection, wildlife monitoring,
or deforestation analysis. These models utilize computer vision techniques, such as
object detection, image classification, and semantic segmentation, to extract
meaningful information from the video streams.
