Efficient spatio-temporal event processing with STARK

For Big Data processing, Apache Spark has been widely accepted. However, when dealing with events or any other spatio-temporal data sets, Spark becomes very inefficient as it does not include any spatial or temporal data types and operators. In this paper we demonstrate our STARK project that adds the required data types and operators, such as spatio-temporal filter and join with various predicates to Spark. Additionally, it includes k nearest neighbor search and a density based clustering operator for data analysis tasks as well as spatial partitioning and indexing techniques for efficient processing. During the demo, programs can be created on real world event data sets using STARK's Scala API or our Pig Latin derivative Piglet in a web front end which also visualizes the results

STV-based Video Feature Processing for Action Recognition

In comparison to still image-based processes, video features can provide rich and intuitive information about dynamic events occurred over a period of time, such as human actions, crowd behaviours, and other subject pattern changes. Although substantial progresses have been made in the last decade on image processing and seen its successful applications in face matching and object recognition, video-based event detection still remains one of the most difficult challenges in computer vision research due to its complex continuous or discrete input signals, arbitrary dynamic feature definitions, and the often ambiguous analytical methods. In this paper, a Spatio-Temporal Volume (STV) and region intersection (RI) based 3D shape-matching method has been proposed to facilitate the definition and recognition of human actions recorded in videos. The distinctive characteristics and the performance gain of the devised approach stemmed from a coefficient factor-boosted 3D region intersection and matching mechanism developed in this research. This paper also reported the investigation into techniques for efficient STV data filtering to reduce the amount of voxels (volumetric-pixels) that need to be processed in each operational cycle in the implemented system. The encouraging features and improvements on the operational performance registered in the experiments have been discussed at the end

Predictive Query Indexing for Ambiguous Moving Objects in Uncertain Data Mining

Indexing and query processing is a developing examination field in spatio-temporal data. The majority of the continuous applications, for example, area based administrations, armada administration, movement expectation and radio recurrence recognizable proof and sensor systems depend on spatiotemporal indexing and query preparing. All the indexing and query processing applications is any of the structures, for example, spatio file get to and supporting inquiries or spatio-transient indexing technique and bolster query or temporal measurement, while in spatial data it is considered as the second need. The majority of the current overview takes a shot at spatio-fleeting depend on indexing techniques and query preparing, yet exhibited independently. Probabilistic range query is an essential kind of query in the region of dubious data administration. A probabilistic range query restores every one of the articles inside a particular range from the query question with a likelihood no not as much as a given edge. A query protest is either a specific question or an indeterminate question demonstrated by a Gaussian appropriation. We propose a few sifting systems and a U-tree-based list to effectively bolster probabilistic range questions over Gaussian items. Broad tests on genuine data exhibit the proficiency of our proposed approach

Content-based video indexing for the support of digital library search

Presents a digital library search engine that combines efforts of the AMIS and DMW research projects, each covering significant parts of the problem of finding the required information in an enormous mass of data. The most important contributions of our work are the following: (1) We demonstrate a flexible solution for the extraction and querying of meta-data from multimedia documents in general. (2) Scalability and efficiency support are illustrated for full-text indexing and retrieval. (3) We show how, for a more limited domain, like an intranet, conceptual modelling can offer additional and more powerful query facilities. (4) In the limited domain case, we demonstrate how domain knowledge can be used to interpret low-level features into semantic content. In this short description, we focus on the first and fourth item
