AVSS Multiple Camera Person Tracking Challenge Evaluation Overview

Technologies that track a specific person as they traverse a network of surveillance cameras can be used as the basis for a multitude of video surveillance applications including mass transit monitoring, large venue security, building security, and the like. In order to continue supporting the development robust people tracking technologies, the first AVSS Multiple Camera Person Tracking (MCPT) Challenge Evaluation was established to provide data and evaluation resources for researchers to build Single Person Tracking (SPT) technologies. This special session will focus on the AVSS MCPT Challenge Evaluation which will include a description of the evaluation task, the i-LIDS Multiple-camera tracking scenario data set used for the evaluation, and presentations by the challenge evaluation participants describing their systems.
