Abstract In the current surveillance system, video streams are firstly captured and compressed at the cameras, and then transmitted to the backend severs or cloud for big data analysis. It is impractical to aggregate all video streams from hundreds of thousands of cameras for big data analysis. Transcoding the videos to low-bitrate ones is the conventional solution to solve the aggregation bottleneck. However, it is recognized that transcoding will inevitably affect visual feature extraction, consequently degrading the subsequent analysis performance. To address these challenges, we thus propose a new video big data analysis framework, called end-edge-cloud collaborative system. Under the end-edge-cloud collaborative framework, a camera can output two streams simultaneously, including a compressed video stream for viewing and data storage, and a compact feature stream extracted from the original video signals for visual analysis. Video stream and feature stream are synchronized by unified identification. We identify three key technologies to enable the end-edge-cloud collaborative system, including analysis-friendly video coding, visual feature compact descriptor, and user-defined neural network and parameter updating. By real-Time feeding only the feature streams into the cloud center, these cameras thus form a large-scale brain-like vision system for the smart city. A prototype has been implemented to demonstrate its feasibility. Experiment results show that our system can achieve high efficient video compression and guarantee the analysis performance. Furthermore, our system makes the big data analysis feasible which only need aggregate low bit-rate com-pressed feature stream. © 2020 IEEE.
