چکیده
ion for spatio-temporal analysis. Specifically, our contribution includes 1) the design of distributed programming abstraction for spatio-temporal analysis, 2) investigation of performance bottleneck for spatio-temporal analysis on large-scale camera networks, and 3) scalable mechanisms that address computation and communication overheads of state update. 4.1 Application Logic of Spatio-temporal Analysis In this section, we explain the general logic of spatio-temporal analysis on camera networks. Spatio-temporal analysis enables an application to answer queries referring to localityand time-dependent information about different occupants. Common examples of spatio-temporal queries include: “Where was person A at time T?” “When did person B leave zone X?” “When and where did person A and B meet for the last time?” “Who moved from zone X to zone Y between time T1 to T2?” To answer these queries, an application has to maintain its state which represents each occupant’s location at different point of time. Figure 8 shows a general application pipeline of spatio-temporal analysis involving four steps: signature detection, event generation, state update, and query handling. Signature detection involves video analytics to detect signatures such as faces. For example, when a person enters a zone, a face detection algorithm reports the person’s face by analyzing video frames from a camera observing the zone. Note that multiple signatures can be reported from a single frame. For each frame, the face detection algorithm finds all image regions containing faces and passes them to the event generation step. Event generation involves generating a probabilistic estimate about the identity of a detected signature. Depending on the application, different algorithms can be used

With the proliferation of sensors of various kinds, especially cameras, large-scale situation awareness applications employing camera networks will become common place. These applications are inherently distributed, dynamic, interactive, run 24×7, and generate spatiotemporal events that need to be stored and retrieved in a timely manner to satisfy real-time constraints. To address these challen...

(ABSTRACT) Situation (al) awareness (SA) is critical to analyze, predict and perform tasks effectively in a dynamic environment. Many studies on SA have ignored network dynamism and its effect on SA, focusing on simple environments. Many studies involving the network and SA have refrained from attempting to model information space dynamism (i.e. dynamic scenarios which may have more than one pr...
