  On the rise of distributed computing technologies, video big data analytics
in the cloud have attracted researchers and practitioners' attention. The
current technology and market trends demand an efficient framework for video
big data analytics. However, the current work is too limited to provide an
architecture on video big data analytics in the cloud, including managing and
analyzing video big data, the challenges, and opportunities. This study
proposes a service-oriented layered reference architecture for intelligent
video big data analytics in the cloud. Finally, we identify and articulate
several open research issues and challenges, which have been raised by the
deployment of big data technologies in the cloud for video big data analytics.
This paper provides the research studies and technologies advancing video
analyses in the era of big data and cloud computing. This is the first study
that presents the generalized view of the video big data analytics in the cloud
to the best of our knowledge.
