[visionlist] CVPR’12 Workshop: IEEE Change Detection 2012

[Fatih Porikli]

We prepared a large ‘Change Detection’ dataset that consists of +90,000 
pixel-accurate labeled frames  of 31 real-world videos (color and 
thermal IR) spanning 6 motion categories representing diverse challenges.

We invite you to test your algorithms and submit results to the IEEE 
Change Detection 2012 workshop:
http://www.changedetection.net/

Key dates:
* Apr 15: submission of short paper (max. 4 pages) describing 
methodology/results
* Apr 22: notification of acceptance
* May 03: submission of final camera-ready paper (max. 8 pages)
* Jun 17: workshop at CVPR 2012

Accepted papers will be published in the CVPR Workshop Proceedings and 
will be available in IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

Results from *all* submissions that meet certain minimum standards will 
be reported on the workshop website and in an overview paper associated 
with the workshop that summarizes the current state-of-the-art in 
methods and results.

The dataset is representative of indoor and outdoor videos captured 
today in surveillance and smart-environment scenarios. The dataset 
includes a comprehensive set of carefully human-annotated ground truth 
moving/changed areas to enable a precise quantitative comparison and 
ranking of various algorithms. Source code is also provided on the 
website to compute various performance metrics.

We aim to provide means for rigorous testing and ranking of existing and 
new algorithms for motion and change detection. The dataset will be 
regularly expanded and the challenge website will continue to update and 
maintain ranking of methods for years to come.
