Sketch of Big Data Real-Time Analytics Model
Big Data has drawn huge attention from researchers in information sciences, decision makers in governments and enterprises. However, there is a lot of potential and highly useful value hidden in the huge volume of data. Data is the new oil, but unlike oil data can be refined further to create even more value. Therefore, a new scientific paradigm is born as data-intensive scientific discovery, also known as Big Data. The growth volume of real-time data requires new techniques and technologies to discover insight value. In this paper we introduce the Big Data real-time analytics model as a new technique. We discuss and compare several Big Data technologies for real-time processing along with various challenges and issues in adapting Big Data. Real-time Big Data analysis based on cloud computing approach is our future research direction
Automatic tagging and geotagging in video collections and communities
Automatically generated tags and geotags hold great promise
to improve access to video collections and online communi-
ties. We overview three tasks offered in the MediaEval 2010
benchmarking initiative, for each, describing its use scenario, definition and the data set released. For each task, a reference algorithm is presented that was used within MediaEval 2010 and comments are included on lessons learned. The Tagging Task, Professional involves automatically matching episodes in a collection of Dutch television with subject labels drawn from the keyword thesaurus used by the archive staff. The Tagging Task, Wild Wild Web involves automatically predicting the tags that are assigned by users to their online videos. Finally, the Placing Task requires automatically assigning geo-coordinates to videos. The specification of each task admits the use of the full range of available information including user-generated metadata, speech recognition transcripts, audio, and visual features
Highly efficient low-level feature extraction for video representation and retrieval.
PhDWitnessing the omnipresence of digital video media, the research community has
raised the question of its meaningful use and management. Stored in immense
multimedia databases, digital videos need to be retrieved and structured in an
intelligent way, relying on the content and the rich semantics involved. Current
Content Based Video Indexing and Retrieval systems face the problem of the semantic
gap between the simplicity of the available visual features and the richness of user
semantics.
This work focuses on the issues of efficiency and scalability in video indexing and
retrieval to facilitate a video representation model capable of semantic annotation. A
highly efficient algorithm for temporal analysis and key-frame extraction is developed.
It is based on the prediction information extracted directly from the compressed domain
features and the robust scalable analysis in the temporal domain. Furthermore,
a hierarchical quantisation of the colour features in the descriptor space is presented.
Derived from the extracted set of low-level features, a video representation model that
enables semantic annotation and contextual genre classification is designed.
Results demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the temporal analysis algorithm
that runs in real time maintaining the high precision and recall of the detection task.
Adaptive key-frame extraction and summarisation achieve a good overview of the
visual content, while the colour quantisation algorithm efficiently creates hierarchical
set of descriptors. Finally, the video representation model, supported by the genre
classification algorithm, achieves excellent results in an automatic annotation system by
linking the video clips with a limited lexicon of related keywords
