Realizing video analytic service in the fog-based infrastructure-less environments

Deep learning has unleashed the great potential in many fields and now is the most significant facilitator for video analytics owing to its capability to providing more intelligent services in a complex scenario. Meanwhile, the emergence of fog computing has brought unprecedented opportunities to provision intelligence services in infrastructure-less environments like remote national parks and rural farms. However, most of the deep learning algorithms are computationally intensive and impossible to be executed in such environments due to the needed supports from the cloud. In this paper, we develop a video analytic framework, which is tailored particularly for the fog devices to realize video analytic service in a rapid manner. Also, the convolution neural networks are used as the core processing unit in the framework to facilitate the image analysing process.
