20 Claims

1. A network control method comprising:

generating sensor data including image data and event data, by a sensor;

performing image analysis processing using a super-resolution image generated from the image data and the event data, by one or more analyzers connected to the sensor via a network: and

determining, on a basis of a manifest that includes traffic of the network as an evaluation axis, an optimal location as a first node, for execution of an application that processes the sensor data generated by the sensor, the first node being one of one or more nodes being located on a path from the sensor to the one or more analyzers in the network, and the first node being located closer to the one or more analyzers on the path from the sensor to the one or more analyzers in the network,

wherein the image data and the event data generated by the sensor is transmitted from the sensor to the first node without image analysis processing, and

wherein Region of Interest (ROI) super-resolution stream is generated from the image data and the event data, by the first node.
