Scanner: Processing Terabytes of Video on Hundreds of Machines

There are now many state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms which are a git clone away. We found that existing systems for distributed data analysis were not well suited to dealing with the computational challenges of applying computer vision algorithms to terabyte or petabyte sized video collections, so we designed and built a system called Scanner to make efficient video analysis easier.
