The remote sensing domain has witnessed tremendous growth in the past decade, due to advancement in technology. In order to store and process such a large amount of data, a platform like Hadoop is leveraged. This article proposes a MapReduce (MR) approach to perform edge detection of satellite images using a nature-inspired algorithm Artificial Bee Colony (ABC). Edge detection is one of the significant steps in the field of image processing and is being used for object detection in the image. The article also compares two edge detection approaches on Hadoop with respect to scalability parameters such as scaleup and speedup. The experiment makes use of Amazon AWS Elastic MapReduce cluster to run MR jobs. It focuses on traditional edge detection algorithms like Canny Edge (CE) and the proposed MR based Artificial Bee Colony approach. It observes that for five images, the scaleup value of CE is 1.1 whereas, for MR-ABC, it is 1.2. Similarly, speedup values come out to be 1.02 and 1.04, respectively. The algorithm proposed by authors in this article scales comparatively better when compared to Canny Edge.
