Post Event Investigation of Multi-stream Video Data Utilizing Hadoop Cluster IJECEIAES
Rapid advancement in technology and in-expensive camera has raised the necessity of monitoring systems for surveillance applications. As a result data acquired from numerous cameras deployed for surveillance is tremendous. When an event is triggered then, manually investigating such a massive data is a complex task. Thus it is essential to explore an approach that, can store massive multi-stream video data as well as, process them to find useful information. To address the challenge of storing and processing multi-stream video data, we have used Hadoop, which has grown into a leading computing model for data intensive applications. In this paper we propose a novel technique for performing post event investigation on stored surveillance video data. Our algorithm stores video data in HDFS in such a way that it efficiently identifies the location of data from HDFS based on the time of occurrence of event and perform further processing. To prove efficiency of our proposed work, we have performed event detection in the video based on the time period provided by the user. In order to estimate the performance of our approach, we evaluated the storage and processing of video data by varying (i) pixel resolution of video frame (ii) size of video data (iii) number of reducers (workers) executing the task (iv) the number of nodes in the cluster. The proposed framework efficiently achieve speed up of 5.9 for large files of 1024X1024 pixel resolution video frames thus makes it appropriate for the feasible practical deployment in any applications.

A presentation of IDB (Infrastructure Distributed for Biology) using StratusLab technology by Christophe Blanchet and Clément Gauthey at Lille, France, May 2013.
Slides for a talk at PyCon AU 2013. Integrating PyDAP + WMS + OpenLayers + IPython Notebook.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJqBGi48RAM
The IPython Notebook is a powerful web app for exploring ideas and data sets with Python. It has excellent integration with Matplotlib, giving the user highly customisable static plots with ease. But for larger data sets, a static plot may not be ideal - the ability to pan, zoom, choose dynamic layers and sample the data at particular points would be nice. This talk will demonstrate just how easy it is to integrate a Web Map Service/client such as Pydap/Leaflet.js into the IPython Notebook.
In this presentation from the Dell booth at SC13, Joseph Antony from NCI describes how they are using HPC Virtualization to meet user needs.

As the Hokkaido University Academic Cloud, which is one of Japan’s largest
academic clouds, was established in November 2011, symposiums that
contribute to exchange of opinions on the current status and future develop-
ment of cloud research have been held yearly since FY 2012, by gathering
cloud-related researchers from Japan and abroad.
The FY 2013 symposium, which was held for three days and involved more
than 300 participants contributed to the development of research technology by
inviting leaders of various fields in cloud-related technology, holding lectures
and exchanging detailed information.
■ Effective period of acknowledgment:
April 1, 2010 – March 31, 2016
■ Purpose of the base
The purpose of this network-type base is to contribute to further
advancement and constant development of Japan’s academic and research
bases through interdisciplinary joint usage/research concerning so-called grand
challenges, which have been considered to be extremely difficult to solve or
clarify, using super-large-sized computers, super-high-capacity storages/net-
works and other information infrastructures. It covers information processing
fields in general, including the global environment, energy, substances/materi-
als, genome information, web data, academic information, time-series data
from sensor networks, image data and program analysis.
■ Operation of the base
JHPCN is operated by the Steering Committee and Joint Research Project
Screening Committee established at the University of Tokyo’s Information
Technology Center, which is its core base.
■ Promotion of open-type joint research
For interdisciplinary research using large-scale information infrastructure,
JHPCN is conducting 34 joint research projects in FY 2014 (of which 7 is related
to our Center), by seeking research projects concerning application of
ultra-large-scale numerical calculation and data processing systems and
ultra-high-capacity network technology, as well as the field of ultra-large-scale
information systems integrating these technologies from the public.
