Monitoring a large surveillance space through distributed face matching
Richa Mishra, Prasanna Kumar, Santanu Chaudhury, S. Indu · 2013
Large space with many cameras require huge storage and computational power to process these data for surveillance applications. In this paper we propose a distributed camera and processing based face detection and recognition system which can generate information for finding spatiotemporal movement pattern of individuals over a large monitored space. The system is built upon Hadoop Distributed File System using map reduce programming model. A novel key generation scheme using distance based hashing technique has been used for distribution of the face matching task. Experimental results have established effectiveness of the technique.
