Storm useable for video processing??

[Patrick Wiener <pa...@web.de>]

Hello everybody,

I’ll ask straightforward: 
Has anybody heard or read something about Storm being used for real-time video/image processing? and could provide some information (sources, code, …)

Reason: I’m working on a project concerning live-stream analysis of video data. It should be investigated wether Storm could be a promising approach.

Thank you very much in advance!
Patrick

I remember seeing that Comcast utilizes Storm in some capacity for their IP
video (http://strataconf.com/stratany2013/public/schedule/detail/30915) but
judging by this talk description, they maybe just using it for analytics.

There's no reason you couldn't. If you look in the archives there was
someone else who'd managed to do some video processing with Storm.

If you make things work, consider sharing a blog post -- that'd be really
great stuff! :)

Hey,

 Well it depends on your expectations really and your application's needs.
If you can indeed transform the video feed (frames/blocks w/e) into
break-able tuples then you could process it using storm. Although I am
afraid that you will have to set a realistic view on your expectations
because usually video processing and feature extraction is quite taxing on
hardware.  This (imho) will result in a (very) noticeable latency increase
in your processing tuple throughput... but other than that you could use
storm; after all video is just data.... albeit a lot.

​Hope this helped.​
