[visionlist] LEEGLE - A challenge in object class recognition in sequences

[Matjaž Jogan]

Dear computer vision researchers,

At the University of Ljubljana, Visual Cognitive Systems Laboratory,
http://vicos.fri.uni-lj.si, we have set up a challenge in object class
recognition in sequences - LEEGLE, mainly intended for students of
computer vision. The competition will be organized twice a year, at
the end of each semester. It is an opportunity for students to test
their knowledge of computer vision and compete with student teams from
other universities.

Three months prior to the competition the training and validation data
is made available. The training data consists of a set of 3D views of
various toy objects pertaining to several object classes. A validation
sequence simulates a trajectory of a camera through a toy world,
depicting objects with high variations in scale, poses, orientation,
lighting conditions, and some objects are likely to be occluded. The
task is to detect, recognize and categorize as many of the known
objects as possible. For the competition a test image sequence is
given, where the algorithms developed are to be evaluated within 48
hours. The resulting scores will be available on the web site.

The FIRST LEEGLE CHALLENGE will take place on May 8, 2009.

More about the competition is available on the LEEGLE web site:

We look forward to your participation!
