Effectively
evaluating the
performance of moving object detection and tracking algorithms is in an
important step towards attaining robust digital video surveillance
systems with
sufficient accuracy for practical applications. As systems become more
complex
and achieve greater robustness, the ability to quantitatively assess
performance is needed in order to continuously improve performance. To
this
end, we are providing video sequences and ground truth annotations for
performance evaluation.
Ground Truth sequences have
extension .pvann and are xml files.
An explanation
of the ground
truth procedure can be found in the
paper [1] .
Performance metrics and an evaluation of the IBM Smart Surveillance System can also be found in this publication.
