Flow accuracy and interpolation evaluation

We report two measures of flow accuracy (angular and end-point error) and two measures of interpolation quality. For each of the 4 measures we report 8 error metrics, resulting in a total of 32 tables. Links to the 4 measures are included below, but the tables are also linked among each other. At this point we do not identify a "default" measure or metric, and thus we do not provide an overall ranking of methods.

Dataset:

GavabDB is a 3D face database. It contains 549 three-dimensional images of facial surfaces. These meshes correspond to 61 different individuals (45 male and 16 female) having 9 images for each person. The total of the individuals are Caucasian and their age is between 18 and 40 years old. Each image is given by a mesh of connected 3D points of the facial surface without texture. The database provides systematic variations with respect to the pose and the facial expression. In particular, the 9 images corresponding to each individual are: 2 frontal views with neutral expression, 2 x-rotated views (±30º, looking up and looking down respectively) with neutral expression, 2 y-rotated views (±90º, left and right profiles respectively) with neutral expression and 3 frontal gesture images (laugh, smile and a random gesture chosen by the user, respectively).

Dataset:

 

120 persons were asked to pose twice in front of the system: in Nov 97 (session1) and in January 98 (session2). For each session, 3 shots were recorded with different (but limited) orientations of the head: straight forward / Left or Right / Upward or downard.

Among the 120 people, two thirds consist of students from the same ethnic origins and with nearly the same age. The last third consists of people of the academy, all aged between 20 and 60.

Different problems encountered in the cooperative scenario were taken into account. People sometimes worn their spectacles, sometimes didn‘t. Beards and moustaches were represented. Some people smiled in some shots. Small up/down and left/right rotations of the head were requested. We regret that only a few (14) women were available.

Dataset:

Human action in video sequences can be seen as silhouettes of a moving torso and protruding limbs undergoing articulated motion. We regard human actions as three-dimensional shapes induced by the silhouettes in the space-time volume. We adopt a recent approach by Gorelick et. al. for analyzing 2D shapes and generalize it to deal with volumetric space-time action shapes. Our method utilizes properties of the solution to the Poisson equation to extract space-time features such as local space-time saliency, action dynamics, shape structure and orientation. We show that these features are useful for action recognition, detection and clustering. The method is fast, does not require video alignment and is applicable in (but not limited to) many scenarios where the background is known. Moreover, we demonstrate the robustness of our method to partial occlusions, non-rigid deformations, significant changes in scale and viewpoint, high irregularities in the performance of an action and low quality video.

Dataset:

The researcher was asked to perform a set of common household activities during the four-hour period using a set of instructions. Activities included the following: preparing a recipe, doing a load of dishes, cleaning the kitchen, doing laundry, making the bed, and light cleaning around the apartment. The volunteer determined the sequence, pace, and concurrency of these activities and also integrated additional household tasks. Our intent was to have a short test dataset of a manageable size that could be easily placed on the web without concerns about anonymity. We wanted this test dataset, however, to show a variety of activity types and activate as many sensors as possible, but in a natural way. In addition to the activities above, the researcher searches for items, uses appliances, talks on the phone, answers email, and performs other everyday tasks. The researcher five mobile accelerometers (one on each limb and one on the hip) and a Polar M32 wireless heart rate monitor. The researcher carried an SMT 5600 mobile phone that ran experience sampling software that beeped and presented a set of questions about her activities.

Metadata:

 

The dataset includes four hours of partially (and soon to be fully) annotated video. The annotation was done using custom annotation software written by Randy Rockinson and Leevar Williams of MIT House_n. This software (called HandLense) is available for researchers to use to study this dataset. [Overview of HandLense and executable]

The annotations include descriptors for body posture, type of activity, location, and social context.

Dataset:

 

Here is collected a large body of human action video (MuHAVi) data using 8 cameras. There are 17 action classes performed by 14 actors. So far we have processed videos corresponding to 7 actors in order to split the actions and provide the JPG image frames. However, we have included some image frames before and after the actual action, for the purpose of background subtraction, tracking, etc. The longest pre-action frames correspond to the actor called Person1. Each actor performs each action several times in the action zone highlighted using white tapes on the scene floor. As actors were amateurs the leader had to interrupt the actors in some cases and ask them to redo the action for consistency. We have used 8 CCTV Schwan cameras located at 4 sides and 4 corners of a rectangular platform. Note that these cameras are not necessarily synchronised. We are working on improving the synchronisation between the images corresponding to different cameras.

Calibration information may be included here in the future. Meanwhile, one can use the patterns on the scene floor to calibrate the cameras of interest.

Dataset:

 

This dataset provides a large body of synthetic video data generated for the purpose of evaluating different algorithms on human action recognition which are based on silhouettes. The data consist of 20 action classes, 9 actors and up to 40 synchronised perspective camera views. It is well known that for the action recognition algorithms which are purely based on human body masks, where other image properties such as colour and intensity are not used, it is important to obtain accurate silhouette data from video frames. This problem is not usually considered as part of the action recognition, but as a lower level problem in the motion tracking and change detection. Hence for researchers working on the recognition side, access to reliable Virtual Human Action Silhouette (ViHASi)data semmes to be both a necessity and a relief. The reason for this is that such data provide a wat of comprehensive experimentation and evaluation of the methods under study, that might even lead to thier improvments.

Dataset:

 

The dataset contains a collection of pedestrian and non-pedestrian images. It is made available for download on this site for benchmarking purposes, in order to advance research on pedestrian classification.

 The dataset consists of two parts:

• a base data set. The base data set contains a total of 4000 pedestrian- and 5000 non-pedestrian samples cut out from video images and scaled to common size of 18x36 pixels. This data set has been used in Section VII-A of the paper referenced above.  
  
  Pedestrian images were obtained from manually labeling and extracting the rectangular positions of pedestrians in video images.  Video images were recorded at various (day) times and locations with no particular constraints on pedestrian pose or clothing, except that pedestrians are standing in upright position and are fully visible. As non-pedestrian images, patterns representative for typical preprocessing steps within a pedestrian classification application, from video images known not to contain any pedestrians. We chose to use a shape-based pedestrian detector that matches a given set of pedestrian shape templates to distance transformed edge images (i.e. comparatively relaxed matching threshold).
   
• additional non-pedestrian images. An additional collection of 1200 video images NOT containing any pedestrians, intended for the extraction of additional negative training examples. Section V of the paper referenced above describes two methods on how to increase the training sample size from these images, and Section VII-B lists experimental results.

Dataset:

 

The dataset consists of nine different cameras, deployed over several different rooms and a hallway in a ``laboratory/office" setting. Several different scenarios were collected from the cameras. A two minute sequence was captured of researchers/staff/visitors going about their daily activities. In addition three different scenarios were scripted so that particular behaviors were exibited in the data.

 During data collection, all cameras wrote raw (uncompressed) data at a resolution of 640x480. All machine clocks were synchonrized via the NTP. In addition to each frame, a timestamp was recorded so that frames can be associated with one another across cameras.

Selected Ground Truth (102 MB) - frames with hand-marked labels of individuals and objects

Scenario 1 (11.8 GB) - “Group Meeting”

Scenario 2 (11.2 GB) - “Group Exit and Intruder”

Scenario 3 (17.4 GB) - “Suspicious Behavior/Theft”

Unscripted Activities (59.6 GB) - natural behavior and activities

The TRECVID conference series is sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with additional support from other U.S. government agencies. The goal of the conference series is to encourage research in information retrieval by providing a large test collection, uniform scoring procedures, and a forum for organizations interested in comparing their results. In 2001 and 2002 the TREC series sponsored a video "track" devoted to research in automatic segmentation, indexing, and content-based retrieval of digital video. Beginning in 2003, this track became an independent evaluation (TRECVID) with a 2-day workshop taking place just before TREC.

 Datasets are described here.

It contains various datasets like:

• Image database used in shape-based retrieval experiments

• Images databases used in deformable shape-based segmentation and retreival experiments

• Over 70 video sequences and ground truth used in evaluation of 3D head tracking

• Labeled video sequences used as ground truth in skin color segmentation experiments

• Hand image database with ground truth

 

• Dynamic background sequences

The USC-SIPI image database is a collection of digitized images. It is maintained primarily to support research in image processing, image analysis, and machine vision. The first edition of the USC-SIPI image database was distributed in 1977 and many new images have been added since then.

The database is divided into volumes based on the basic character of the pictures. Images in each volume are of various sizes such as 256x256 pixels, 512x512 pixels, or 1024x1024 pixels. All images are 8 bits/pixel for black and white images, 24 bits/pixel for color images. The following volumes are currently available:

	Textures	Brodatz textures, texture mosaics, etc.
	Aerials	High altitude aerial images
	Miscellaneous	Lena, the mandrill, and other favorites
	Sequences	Moving head, fly-overs, moving vehicle
