Visual Road: A Video Data Management Benchmark

Summary: Visual Road provides a scalable video data management benchmark with a realistic, automatically generated, annotated video corpus and a city-scale data generator. It targets real-time, longitudinal analytics, traditional video, and 360-degree VDBMSs, enabling cross-system performance evaluation demonstrated on three recent systems.
