The proliferation of cameras deployed throughout our world is enabling and accelerating exciting new applications such as virtual and augmented reality, autonomous driving, drone analytics, and smart infrastructure. However, because cameras produce large volumes of content-rich data, application development remains tedious. In this talk, I describe several video data management systems designed to simplify application development and optimize execution. By exposing declarative interfaces, these systems automatically produce efficient execution strategies that include leveraging heterogeneous hardware, operating directly on the compressed representation of video data, and improving video storage performance. Through these systems, we show that the application of fundamental data management principles to this space vastly improves performance while greatly decreasing application development complexity.
