A Large-scale Distributed Video Parsing and Evaluation Platform
Visual surveillance systems have become one of the largest data sources of
Big Visual Data in real world. However, existing systems for video analysis
still lack the ability to handle the problems of scalability, expansibility and
error-prone, though great advances have been achieved in a number of visual
recognition tasks and surveillance applications, e.g., pedestrian/vehicle
detection, people/vehicle counting. Moreover, few algorithms explore the
specific values/characteristics in large-scale surveillance videos. To address
these problems in large-scale video analysis, we develop a scalable video
parsing and evaluation platform through combining some advanced techniques for
Big Data processing, including Spark Streaming, Kafka and Hadoop Distributed
Filesystem (HDFS). Also, a Web User Interface is designed in the system, to
collect users' degrees of satisfaction on the recognition tasks so as to
evaluate the performance of the whole system. Furthermore, the highly
extensible platform running on the long-term surveillance videos makes it
possible to develop more intelligent incremental algorithms to enhance the
performance of various visual recognition tasks.Comment: Accepted by Chinese Conference on Intelligent Visual Surveillance
