In this paper, the framework of MapReduce is explored for large-scale multimedia data mining. Firstly, a brief overview of MapReduce and Hadoop is presented to speed up large-scale multimedia data mining. Then, the high-level theory and low-level implementation for several key computer vision technologies involved in this work are introduced, such as 2D/3D interest point detection, clustering, bag of features, and so on. Experimental results on image classification, video event detection and
