Abstract
As computer vision projects continue to spread with the popularization of easy-to-train neural networks such as YOLOv4 (you only look once), video can be captured with entry-level experience and uploaded to a server with GPUs (graphics processing units) where video processing can occur. However, these video files should not be streamed with the traditional unreliable data transfer of UDP (user-defined protocol) without reliability and congestion control added in the application layer as losses are not tolerable in preprocessed data. This project seeks to test the trade-off between goodput/transfer time and physical client mobility when transferring large files simultaneously from multiple cameras at varying distances utilizing TCP (transfer control protocol). Specifically, this project is targeted at Eye-bex camera modules (a current capstone project at SFU), which will be placed inside a climbing gym to acquire and upload video footage of rock climbers to a server for video processing.
To simulate the experiments, Riverbed Modeler will be used with a network topology of 2 cameras performing FTP applications of the average video chunk size, 53MB, every 15 minutes. Five wireless stations representing the expected traffic of light browsing from users are included in the network topology to account for simultaneous traffic.
