Visual cloud computing methods could help first responders in disaster scenarios

Visual data created by numerous security cameras, personal mobile devices and aerial video provide useful data for first responders and law enforcement. That data can be critical in terms of knowing where to send emergency personnel and resources, tracking suspects in man-made disasters, or detecting hazardous materials. Recently, a group of computer science researchers developed a visual cloud computing architecture that streamlines the process.
