Title
A flexible and scalable component-based system architecture for video surveillance as a service, running on infrastructure as a service
Abstract
Abstract There are many proposals for moving traditional video surveillance systems into the cloud, commonly known as Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS). Most systems use Hadoop technology for storing video records and distributing video analysis tasks. However, Hadoop is more appropriate for video retrieval services than real time video analysis. Also, existing systems offer neither flexible deployment plans, nor are they capable of automatically minimizing the number of required servers (whether they are physical or virtual machines). Our proposal involves the design and implementation of a component-based VSaaS running on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). This paper focuses on the design concepts and component functions that provide solutions for the availability and scalability of VSaaS. Our system can easily scale from one server up to a more complex cluster to support the varying requirements of users. It accesses cloud services via Amazon EC2 for computing services and Amazon S3 API for object storage services, since they are supported by many cloud computing IaaS providers. We also present a components deployment that is suitable for any size and type of system, which combines both physical and virtual machines. Experiments show that the system performs well, and can tolerate difficult scenarios.
