In this article, we first survey the current situation of video processing on the edge for multimedia Internet-of-Things (M-IoT) systems in three typical scenarios, i.e., smart cities, satellite networks, and Internet-of-Vehicles. By summarizing a general model of the edge video processing, the importance of developing an edge computing platform is highlighted. Then, we give a method of implementing cooperative video processing on an edge computing platform based on light-weighted virtualization technologies. Performance evaluation is conducted and some insightful observations can be obtained. Moreover, we summarize challenges and opportunities of realizing effective edge video processing for M-IoT systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
