  3. Introduction • Theme - Performance Evaluation of Tracking and Surveillance • Successful tracking of object motions key to visual surveillance • PETS started in Grenoble, France in 2000 as satellite workshop of FG2000 • Not a competition • http://visualsurveillance.org • ftp://pets.rdg.ac.uk ETISEO, Nice, May 11-12 2005

  4. PETS - History • PETS’2000 was held at FG’2000, 31 March 2000, Grenoble, France. • PETS’2001 at CVPR’01. • PETS’2002 at ECCV, Copenhagen, Denmark, June 1 2002. • PETS2003 at ICVS, Graz; VS-PETS at ICCV2003 • PETS2004 at ECCV04 • WAMOP-PETS, CO, USA (Jan 05) as part of IEEE Winter Workshop Series • 2005: VS-PETS at ICCV’05 ETISEO, Nice, May 11-12 2005

  5. Datasets – Example – PETS2001 • Five separate sets of training and test sequences. • All datasets are multiview (frame sychronised). • Datasets were significantly more challenging than PETS2000 (significant lighting variation, occlusion, scene activity and use of multiview data) ETISEO, Nice, May 11-12 2005

  8. Dataset 2 ETISEO, Nice, May 11-12 2005

  9. Dataset 4 ETISEO, Nice, May 11-12 2005

  10. PETS - Prerequisites • Tracking results reported • should be performed using the test sequences, but the training sequences may optionally be used if the algorithms require it (for learning etc.) • may be based on a single camera view of the scene, or using multiple view data. • can be based on the entire test sequence, or a portion of it; the images may be converted to any other format and/or subsampled. • results must be submitted in XML format. ETISEO, Nice, May 11-12 2005

  11. PETS – Workshop Overview • XX contributed papers • ~3 sessions: e.g. appearance-based tracking, people and vehicle tracking, multiview tracking • Y invited speakers • Demonstration session • Overall evaluation and discussion ETISEO, Nice, May 11-12 2005

  12. Quantitative PE - XML • XML provides mechanism of setting up “syntax” file in form of schema • Schema used to automatically validate object tracking results • For PETS’2001, two schemas were used: • low-level tracking results • high-level surveillance (understanding object motions and interactions) ETISEO, Nice, May 11-12 2005

  39. Performance Evaluation • Evaluation of surveillance system can be judged in a number of ways: • object detection lag • object centroid position error • object area error • track incompleteness factor • accuracy of semantics of interaction • object identity error • maintenance of identity through occlusion • … ETISEO, Nice, May 11-12 2005

  40. Image Format Processing Speed Processor ETISEO, Nice, May 11-12 2005

  41. Discussion • Evaluation criteria are application dependent • Training data – required or not? • representative examples • how much? • Semantics of XML schema • Ground truth • difficult to obtain • automatic evaluation - how? ETISEO, Nice, May 11-12 2005

  42. PETS Evaluation • +ve: “Mindset” – engaging the community –change of culture • +ve: Repository of data (PETS01 most frequently accessed) • +ve: Discussion/presentation of methodologies, metrics, tools … • +ve: Filters through to conferences/published literature • -ve: For workshop, choice of dataset(s) • + annotation • -ve: More quantitative evaluation needed ETISEO, Nice, May 11-12 2005

  43. PETS, ETISEO and the future … • Online web-based evaluation service • (Semi-)automatic validation of XML against ground truth • Repository of algorithms (incl. “strawman”), and tabulated results (rank?) • Methodology for evaluation • Metrics • More challenging datasets (e.g. multiview) • Live workshop sessions on “unseen” data • Expectation that ETISEO will support PETS ETISEO, Nice, May 11-12 2005
