    SS8: Deep Video Analytics and Big Visual Data: Computational Models, Algorithms and Applications

    Video analytics and Big Visual Data is a well growing research area in pattern recognition and computer vision. The video data is generated every day from various applications such as video surveillance, personal mobile device and video uploads in social media. It is imperative that there is a need to understand such a huge amount of video data (Big Video Data). In recent times, deep learning is being used by researchers and has improved and complemented various research areas. The combination of both big visual data and the deep learning domains will show a significant progress in video analysis and life-related applications. However, the capability of handling video data is found to be large. This is due to the fact that video data conveys rich spatial and temporal information. Further, the annotation of video labels is expensive and limits the further learning of deep neural networks. As a result, there is a need for novel deep learning based Video Analytic and Big Visual Data Analysis approaches that can cater to the video analysis task with better accuracy and efficiency.
