Abstract Sensors are present in various forms all around the world such as mobile phones, surveillance cameras, smart televisions, intelligent refrigerators and blood pressure monitors. Usually, most of the sensors are a part of some other system with similar sensors that compose a network. One of such networks is composed of millions of sensors connected to the Internet which is called Internet of Things (IoT). With the advances in wireless communication technologies, multimedia sensors and their networks are expected to be major components in IoT. Many studies have already been done on wireless multimedia sensor networks in diverse domains like fire detection, city surveillance, early warning systems, etc. All those applications position sensor nodes and collect their data for a long time period with real-time data flow, which is considered as big data. Big data may be structured or unstructured and needs to be stored for further processing and analyzing. Analyzing multimedia big data is a challenging task requiring a high-level modeling to efficiently extract valuable information knowledge from data. In this study, we propose a big database model based on graph database model for handling data generated by wireless multimedia sensor networks. We introduce a simulator to generate synthetic data and store and query big data using graph model as a big database. For this purpose, we evaluate the well-known graph-based NoSQL databases, Neo4j and OrientDB, and a relational database, MySQL. We have run a number of query experiments on our implemented simulator to show that which database system(s) for surveillance in wireless multimedia sensor networks is efficient and scalable.
@cite_11 present a survey paper on graph database models. They compare graph database models with the other database models, i.e. a relational model. In this paper, we also compare well-known graph database models with the relational database model. Furthmore we perform queries to benchmark the performance of databases.

Graph databases (GDB) are now a viable alternative to Relational Database Systems (RDBMS). Chemistry, biology, semantic web, social networking and recommendation engines are all examples of applications that can be represented in a much more natural form. Comparisons will be drawn between relational database systems (Oracle, MySQL) and graph databases (Neo4J) focusing on aspects such as data structures, data model features and query facilities. Additionally, several of the inherent and contemporary limitations of current offerings comparing and contrasting graph vs. relational database implementations will be explored. The analysis of the relationship among data entities has lead to model them as graphs. Since the size of the datasets has significantly grown in the recent years, it has become necessary to implement efficient graph databases that can load and manage these huge datasets. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of four of the most scalable native graph database projects (Neo4j, Jena, HypergraphDB and DEX). We implement the full HPC Scalable Graph Analysis Benchmark, and we test the performance of each database for different typical graph operations and graph sizes, showing that in their current development status, DEX and Neo4j are the most efficient graph databases. Due to many real applications of graph databases, it has become increasingly important to retrieve graphs g (in graph database D) that approximately match with query graph q, rather than exact subgraph matches. In this paper, we study the problem of graph similarity search, which retrieves graphs that are similar to a given query graph under the constraint of the minimum edit distance. Specifically, we derive a lower bound, branch-based bound, which can greatly reduce the search space of the graph similarity search. We also propose a tree index structure, namely b-tree, to facilitate effective pruning and efficient query processing. Extensive experiments confirm that our proposed approach outperforms the existing approaches by orders of magnitude, in terms of both pruning power and query response time. The growing popularity of graph databases has generated interesting data management problems, such as subgraph search, shortest-path query, reachability verification, and pattern match. Among these, a pattern match query is more flexible compared to a subgraph search and more informative compared to a shortest-path or reachability query. In this paper, we address pattern match problems over a large data graph G. Specifically, given a pattern graph (i.e., query Q), we want to find all matches (in G) that have the similar connections as those in Q. In order to reduce the search space significantly, we first transform the vertices into points in a vector space via graph embedding techniques, coverting a pattern match query into a distance-based multi-way join problem over the converted vector space. We also propose several pruning strategies and a join order selection method to process join processing efficiently. Extensive experiments on both real and synthetic datasets show that our method outperforms existing ones by orders of magnitude.
