Ground truth creation Ground truth creation rulesrules

• Rules for objects: Contextual object Static physical object of interest Occlusion Artefacts Sudden illumination changes Held object Group - Crowd Crowded video clip Multi-view annotation

• Rules for events


Ground truth creation – Ground truth creation – Rules for objectsRules for objects

Contextual object

• Annotated during its period of movement



Static physical object of interest

• Any physical object of interest is annotated on the whole video clip (ex: a parked vehicle)

First frame and last frame of a video clip



Occlusions – general rules

• Apparition of an object: the BBox increase with object apparition including only its visible part,

• All BBox are limited by the image boundary,• Partial and complete occlusion will be

differentiate in the evaluation (attribute “occluded”).



Static occlusions (by a contextual object)

• Partial occlusion: full BBox is drawn including hidden part,



Static occlusions (by a contextual object)

• Complete occlusion - two cases: all “escapes” of the contextual object are

visible: full BBox is drawn all the time,



all “escapes” of the contextual object are not visible: the object is no more annotated when completely occluded



• Partial or complete occlusion: in both cases, the full BBox is drawn including hidden part.

Dynamic occlusion (by another object)



Split object due to occlusion

• A unique BBox including all sub part is drawn.



Artefacts• Only the part constituting the objects forms the

BBox, artefacts (shadow, reflection…) are ignored for instant.

• Annotated in video data set 2



Sudden illumination changes (tagged frames)• Static object

• Object in movement: position interpolation



Held object

Example: bag-person, person-bike, door-vehicle

• The holder and the held object are both annotated (if visible),

• The carried object is connected to the holder.



Specific case

• Person getting in/out a vehicle: annotated only when visible



Group - Crowd• Group: multiple bounding boxes (persons +

group)

• Crowd : unique Bbox when individual annotation is impossible.



Crowded video clip• Only object involved in event of interest are

annotated. No false detections evaluation



Multi-view annotation


Ground truth creation – Ground truth creation – Rules for eventsRules for events

• Id• Name• Start and end time• Status• Involved objects:

Id of the physical object of interest in GT files

Id of the contextual object in context information files

Event – data structure



• Choice of event for each video clip in the event ontology => defined in the database xls file (provided with video)

Sequence Name ETI-VS1-RD-15

Content

Physical objects type Person, vehicle

Events of interest gets_in, gets_out, parked



• Automatic annotation of events with quantitative constraints, example:

Related to kinematics properties: stopped, running…

Related to spatial properties: close_to, inside_zone…

• Manual annotation of other events: holding, pushing, waiting, gets_in/out,…
