Build and integrate Accumulo clusters with various cloud platforms

Overview

• Shows you how to build Accumulo, Hadoop, and ZooKeeper clusters from scratch on both Windows and Linux
• Allows you to get hands-on knowledge about how to run Accumulo on Amazon EC2, Google Cloud Platform, Rackspace, and Windows Azure Cloud platforms
• Packed with practical examples to enable you to manipulate Accumulo with ease

In Detail

Accumulo is a sorted and distributed key/value store designed to handle large amounts of data. Being highly robust and scalable, its performance makes it ideal for real-time data storage. Apache Accumulo is based on Google’s BigTable design and is built on top of Apache Hadoop, Zookeeper, and Thrift.

Apache Accumulo for Developers is your guide to building an Accumulo cluster both as a single-node and multi-node, on-site and in the cloud. Accumulo has been proven to be able to handle petabytes of data, with cell-level security, and real-time analyses so this is your step by step guide in taking full advantage of this power.

Apache Accumulo for Developers looks at the process of setting up three systems – Hadoop, ZooKeeper, and Accumulo – and configuring, monitoring, and securing them.

You will learn to connect Accumulo to both Hadoop and ZooKeeper. You will also learn how to monitor the cluster (single-node or multi-node) to find any performance bottlenecks, and then integrate to Amazon EC2, Google Cloud Platform, Rackspace, and Windows Azure. When integrating with these cloud platforms, we will focus on scripting as well.

You will also learn to troubleshoot clusters with monitoring tools, and use Accumulo cell-level security to secure your data.

What you will learn from this book

• Set up Hadoop, ZooKeeper, and Accumulo
• Monitor clusters – both performance and application logs
• Secure your data in Accumulo
• Optimize Hadoop, ZooKeeper, and Accumulo performance
• Integrate to various cloud platforms
• Use the Accumulo command-line shell
• Employ Ganglina to monitor the cluster and Graylog2 to monitor application logs
• Understand what tools are needed to optimize Accumulo performance

Approach

The book will have a tutorial-based approach that will show the readers how to start from scratch with building an Accumulo cluster and learning how to monitor the system and implement aspects such as security.

Who this book is written for

This book is great for developers new to Accumulo, who are looking to get a good grounding in how to use Accumulo. It’s assumed that you have an understanding of how Hadoop works, both HDFS and the Map/Reduce. No prior knowledge of ZooKeeper is assumed.

Title : Android Application Programming with OpenCV
Author : Joseph Howse
ISBN/ASIN : 1849695202
Publication Date : 2013-09-25
Publisher : Packt Publishing
Paperback : 130 pages

Description :

Overview

• Set up OpenCV and an Android development environment on Windows, Mac, or Linux
• Capture and display real-time videos and still images
• Manipulate image data using OpenCV and Apache Commons Math
• Track objects and render 2D and 3D graphics on top of them
• Create a photo-capture and photo-sharing app that supports a variety of filters with a real-time preview feature

In Detail

Take a smartphone from your pocket, and within a few seconds, you can snap a photo, manipulate it, and share it with the world. You have just achieved mass production of image data. With a computer vision library such as OpenCV, you can analyze and transform copious amounts of image data in real time on a mobile device. The upshot to this is that you, as developers, can provide mobile users with many new kinds of images, constantly highlighting certain visual features that are of artistic or practical interest. Android is a convenient platform for such experiments because it uses a high-level language (Java), it provides standardized interfaces for sharing image data between applications, and it is mostly open source, so everyone can study its implementation.

Android Application Programming with OpenCV is a practical, hands-on guide that covers the fundamental tasks of computer vision—capturing, filtering, and analyzing images-with step-by-step instructions for writing both an application and reusable library classes.

Android Application Programming with OpenCV looks at OpenCV’s Java bindings for Android and dispels mysteries such as which version of these bindings to use, how to integrate with standard Android functionality for layout, event handling, and data sharing, and how to integrate with OpenGL for rendering. By following the clear, concise, and modular examples provided in this book, you will develop an application that previews, captures, and shares photos with special effects based on color manipulation, edge detection, image tracking, and 3D rendering.Beneath the application layer, you will develop a small but extensible library that you can reuse in your future projects. This library will include filters for selectively modifying an image based on edge detection, 2D and 3D image trackers, and adapters to convert the Android system’s camera specifications into OpenCV and OpenGL projection matrices. If you want a quick start in computer vision for Android, then this is the book for you.

By the end of Android Application Programming with OpenCV, you will have developed a computer vision application that integrates OpenCV, Android SDK, and OpenGL.

What you will learn from this book

• Install OpenCV and an Android development environment on Windows, Mac, or Linux
• Capture, display, and save images
• Make images accessible to other apps via Android’s MediaStore and Intent classes
• Integrate OpenCV events and views with Android’s standard activity lifecycle and view hierarchy
• Learn how OpenCV uses matrices to store data about images, recognizable features in images, and camera characteristics
• Apply curves and other color transformations to simulate the look of old photos, movies, or video games
• Apply convolution filters that sharpen, blur, emboss, or darken edges and textures in an image
• Track real-world objects, especially printed images, in 2D and 3D space
• Extract camera data from Android SDK and use it to construct OpenCV and OpenGL projection matrices
• Render basic 3D graphics in OpenGL
