Intel Big Data technology makes "safe city" move toward Intellectualization

Cloud computing is still in the ascendant, big data catching up, become the most eye-catching High-tech hot topic this year. Unlike the former, which is designed to help organizations build more efficient and flexible IT environments, it is more focused on helping businesses and institutions to quickly exploit high-value information from increasingly massive amounts of data to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of their decisions, thus generating and collecting large amounts of data at some point in time, Also need to deal with these data in time to capture opportunities in the industry or application areas have been sought after.

Security application of the increasingly extensive field of video surveillance, especially the large range, covering a number of videon points video surveillance is currently on the large data favor one of the application areas. China's analysts at the Intel Large Data Forum, held on July 24, pointed out that big data technology has been implemented in some local government-led smart city projects that include "Safe city" video surveillance applications as an important component.

Why do such projects look at the application of major data technologies? From the 2011 Global Video Surveillance Products market share ranked first, and in the security field has the world's largest research and development center of the Sea Kang Wei as the answer may be sufficient representation: first of all, the data produced in the scale or structure, are consistent with large data definition-"' Ping An City ' application is the largest and most complex system in the field of video surveillance, its video access scale from thousands of to tens of thousands of or even a hundred thousand of, hundreds of thousands of, it involves the security monitoring, command communication, investigation, law enforcement, social services, and many other areas of division, " Hai Qingqing, vice president and chief technology officer at Hai Kang Wei, said: "And now the video quality of video surveillance has progressed from SD to HD, so you can imagine how much information is generated by a large ' Ping an City ' project. ”

Secondly, the "Safe City" video monitoring of the collection of massive data and other kinds of large data, only the intelligent, efficient processing is more valuable. Hai Qingqing points out: "Traditional video surveillance usually requires manual monitoring, but it is generally only 20 minutes of effective monitoring of the video, then the attention and attention point is dropped." "In contrast, intelligent monitoring technology does not produce fatigue as human beings, can be uninterrupted operation, and it" also can be from a large number of unstructured video data extracted valuable information, the application of video surveillance from the past and the current view of hindsight, slowly converted into advance warning, which can be public security, Transportation and other industries to provide more effective business information support. ”

The above two characteristics determine the "Safe City" video surveillance application will become a large data application, but also decided that it needs large data technology to support. "We have also wanted to use the original relational database to host the relevant data and applications, but relational databases have no way to support massive, unstructured or semi-structured data." "Hai Qingqing said that after careful assessment and testing, Conway chose Intel's Big data platform, at its core, the Intel Hadoop release with large data organization and management capabilities.

The advantage of Intel's Hadoop release is that it has three points from Intel's published information: one that, like other versions of Hadoop, provides flexible support for the storage, management, and processing of large amounts of data. The second is that it does more to optimize the Intel architecture hardware platform than other versions of Hadoop; The 3rd is that Intel is based on an open mind that provides comprehensive technical support and services for its partners or users, and on Intel, an open platform, Partners and users can also be more comfortable with their own innovation.

These advantages, it is Hai Kang Wei to choose it to carry the city of safe video surveillance applications. For example, Hai Kang Wei thought that the application needs a lot of acquisition points, video channel is very large, so "processing platform can not be a full range of Chinese can not be distributed, but should be a combination of both" and hadoop flexibility for this very suitable , such as Hai Kang Wei to be in the data management and organization layer of Hadoop for video data processing, analysis, classification technology, based on the semantic distributed video search technology to explore them, Intel's open platform also provides ample room for innovation. Also, because the Intel Hadoop release has been locked in the development process of telecommunications, financial, transportation, medical, manufacturing and other potential applications, so its development team has long been focused on the intelligent traffic monitoring market demand and the sea Conway as the cooperation, in the product development process to learn from the sea, Conway as the proposal, Therefore, it can provide more optimized support for large data application of video monitoring.

Driven by these ripe conditions, Conway has created a video intelligent cloud computing solution based on the Intel Hadoop release and the integration of open architecture cloud computing technology that enables flexible provisioning of IT resources to support applications and services on demand. The scheme has been applied in the field of intelligent traffic monitoring in some cities, it can not only control the driving state and running track of any vehicle in the coverage area of the urban traffic camera, analyze whether it violates the illegal behavior or the potential crime possibility, but also can compare, analyze and forecast the mass traffic information, realize the vehicle supervised, Congestion state services, travel Optimal path planning, traffic management services and other functions.

Looking to the future, the company also plans to use the program for small micro-enterprises or individual users, such as small shops, supermarket chain video surveillance through the cloud services, through the analysis of their video surveillance data to provide potential risk of early warning. "Such a system is completely internet-based platform, so it may be more data than the ' ping ' an city," the size of the data collection, analysis, storage and retrieval of the difficulty is still high. Hai Qingqing said that Conway believes that Intel's advanced large data platform, especially the Intel Hadoop release, will receive more and more comprehensive validation by then.
