Abstract
Digital vision technologies emerged exponentially in all living areas to watch, play, control, or track events. Security checkpoints have benefited also from those technologies by integrating dedicated cameras in studied locations. The aim is to manage the vehicles accessing the inspection security point and fetching for any suspected ones. However, the gathered data volume continuously increases each day, making their analysis very hard and time-consuming. This paper uses semantic-based techniques to model the data flow between the cameras, checkpoints, and administrators. It uses ontologies to deal with the increased data size and its automatic analysis. It considers forensics requirements throughout the creation of the ontology modules to ensure the records’ admissibility for any possible investigation purposes. Ontology-based data modeling will help in the automatic events search and correlation to track suspicious vehicles efficiently.
