Frontiers of Activity Recognition

该奖项是为了支持一项名为“活动认可领域的前沿”的合作项目。在该项目中，来自计算机科学、工程、数学和统计等不同领域的专家将在加州大学洛杉矶分校附近举办一个研讨会。讲习班的一个组成部分是互动式分组会议，将在会上分析不同的活动表示(描述符)和识别方法。第二个组成部分是在IEEE计算机视觉和模式识别(CVPR)国际会议之前向广大公众宣布的一项比赛，届时将发布由第三方提供的广泛数据集，并提供基准，参赛者将被邀请提交他们在检测一些动作类别方面的最佳结果。高级别方法的提出者将应邀参加讲习班，介绍他们的结果，并在对将作为实地评估一部分进行的技术现状分析的背景下进行讨论。研讨会可以对许多应用产生广泛的影响，从安全(监视、监测)到环境科学(生境监测、全球变暖)、工业运营(工厂车间优化)、多媒体和信息检索(基于内容的视频元数据提取)、娱乐(游戏输入设备)和交通(驾驶员辅助)。

This award is made in support of a collaborative project called "Frontiers in Activity Recognition" whereby a group of experts from different fields of computer science, engineering, mathematics and statistics convene in a workshop to be held in the vicinity of UCLA. One component of the workshop consists in interactive break-out sessions where different approaches to activity representation (descriptors) and recognition will be analyzed. A second component consists in a competition, announced to the broad public ahead of the IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), whereby an extensive dataset provided by a third party will be released, with benchmarks, and contestants will be invited to submit their best results in the detection of a number of action categories. The proposers of high-ranking approaches will be invited to the workshop to present their results and discuss it in the context of the analysis of the state of the art to be performed as part of the field assessment. The workshop can have broad impact to many applications ranging from security (surveillance, monitoring) to environmental science (habitat monitoring, global warming), to industrial operations (factory floor optimization), to multi-media and information retrieval (content-based video meta-data extraction), to entertainment (input devices for games), and to transportation (driver assistance).
