Slides: https://www.slideshare.net/DataStax/cassandrabased-image-processing-two-case-studies-kerry-koitzsch-kildane-c-summit-2016 | In this presentation, we will detail two image processing applications which rely on a Cassandra centric architecture to achieve distributed, high accuracy analysis of a variety of image formats, types, and quality, and which require different kinds of metadata processing as well as feature extraction from the image themselves. We will outline the architecture choices made for the two use case studies, and how we found Cassandra to be the ideal choice for the persistence layer implementation technology. In conclusion we will discuss extensions to the two use cases discussed and some of the 'lessons learned' from the two implementation projects.
