In the age of multimedia big data, the popularity of mobile devices has been in an unprecedented growth, the speed of data increasing is faster than ever before, and Internet traffic is rapidly increasing, not only in volume but also in heterogeneity. Therefore, data processing and network overload have become two urgent problems. To address these problems, extensive papers have been published on image analysis using deep learning, but only a few works have exploited this approach for video analysis. In this article, a hybrid-stream model is proposed to solve these problems for video analysis. Functionality of this model covers Data Preprocessing, Data Classification, and Data-Load-Reduction Processing. Specifically, an improved Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) classification algorithm is designed to evaluate the importance of each video frame and video clip to enhance classification precision. Then, a reliable keyframe extraction mechanism will recognize the importance of each frame or clip, and decide whether to abandon it automatically by a series of correlation operations. The model will reduce data load to a dynamic threshold changed by σ, control the input size of the video in mobile Internet, and thus reduce network overload. Through experimental simulations, we find that the size of processed video has been effectively reduced and the quality of experience (QoE) has not been lowered due to a suitably selected parameter η. The simulation also shows that the model has a steady performance and is powerful enough for continuously growing multimedia big data.

Bacterial spot (BS), caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. Vesicatoria (Xcv), severely affects the quality and yield of pepper. Thus, breeding new pepper cultivars with enhanced resistance to BS can improve economic benefits for pepper production. Identification of BS resistance genes is an essential step to achieve this goal. However, very few BS resistance genes have been well characterized in pepper so far. In this study, we reanalyzed public multiple time points related to RNA-seq data sets from two pepper cultivars, the Xcv-susceptible cultivar ECW and the Xcv-resistant cultivar VI037601, post Xcv infection. We identified a total of 3568 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between two cultivars post Xcv infection, which were mainly involved in some biological processes, such as Gene Ontology (GO) terms related to defense response to bacterium, immune system process, and regulation of defense response, etc. Through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), we identified 15 hub (Hub) transcription factor (TF) candidates in response to Xcv infection. We further selected 20 TFs from the gene regulatory network (GRN) potentially involved in Xcv resistance response. Finally, we predicted 4 TFs, C3H (p-coumarate 3-hydroxylase), ERF (ethylene-responsive element binding factor), TALE (three-amino-acid-loop-extension), and HSF (heat shock transcription factor), as key factors responsible for BS disease resistance in pepper. In conclusion, our study provides valuable resources for dissecting the underlying molecular mechanism responsible for Xcv resistance in pepper. Additionally, it also provides valuable references for mining transcriptomic data to identify key candidates for disease resistance in horticulture crops.
