Original Abstract Submitted

This document relates to performing live video stream analytics on edge devices. One example determines resources available to the system, and a video analytics configuration is selected that distributes work between edge devices and cloud devices in a cascading manner, where edge device processing is prioritized over cloud processing in order to conserve resources. This example can dynamically modify the allocation of processing depending on changing conditions, such as network availability.
