ETISEO / Techno-Vision
ETISEO is part of the Techno-Vision program
Partially funded by the French government. 2
years duration, starting in January 2005 To
evaluate vision techniques for video
surveillance application.
3
Main objectives

• To promote evaluation usage in image processing
  domain,
• To diffuse good practices,
• To create perrennial evaluation structure.

4
The way

• To support resources generation,
• To support evaluation cycles,
• Partially funding project as ETISEO,
• Encourage active participation.

5
ETISEO principles

• Open participation,
• European dimension,
• Discussion among partipants to define
• - tasks of interest (segmentation, )
• - video contents,
• - metrics.

6
Detailed Objectives

• To create two ontologies one for technical
  concepts used in the whole video interpretation
  chain , one for concepts of the application
  domain.
• To conceive automatic evaluation tools for
  vision algorithms to allow a fair and
  quantitative comparison between algorithm results
  and reference data.
• To acquire precise knowledge of vision
  algorithms to diagnose technological limits.

Video configuration
Video surveillance applications
Considered configurations - Static camera, fix
lens, - Color/NB and/or IR sensor, - Mono or
multi cameras configuration, - Indoor or
outdoor, - People and/or vehicles tracking, -
Vehicules recognition, - Events recognition.

ETISEO Ressources
ETISEO will generate resources to be
diffused to the participants - Corpus data (
work, test evaluation), - Ground truth ( video
annotations), - Specific metrics, - Automatic
comparison tool.
9
Corpus Data

• Several data providers,
• offering large possibilities and diversity
• Exploiting existing equipments,
• Recording specific ETISEO corpus data,
• - corresponding to initial choices,
• - focusing on specific topics.

Project committee

• INRIA Sophia-AntipolisORION,
• scientific leader.
• SILOGIC S.A., Coordinator, evaluator,
  Data provider.
• INRETS-LEOST, Data provider.
• C.E.A.-LIST, Data provider.

11
Participation

• - All participants are welcome to participate.
• Voluntary is the rule
• participants are expected to test their
  algorithms on their own and to send their results
  to the evaluator.
• After the participants commitment,
• video database with ground truth and metrics with
  evaluation tools will be transmitted.
• - All participants will be welcome to attend
  freely workshops organized during the project.
