TRECVID Surveillance Event Detection Data Page
The procedure for licensing the data is as follows:
- Apply to participate in the TRECVID Surveillance Event Detection evaluation by completing the TRECVID registration forms. For more details, see: http://trecvid.nist.gov/.
- The development data consists of the 2008 Event Detection Training and Testing sets. Follow the instructions in the guidelines http://www-nlpir.nist.gov/projects/tv2014/tv2014.html#licenses. NIST will acknowledge receipt, and then you should proceed to the next step.
- The evaluation set is the UK Home Office Centre for Applied Science and Technology' (CAST) (formerly Home Office Scientific Development Branch's (HOSDB)) i-LIDS MCTTR dataset. This is the same evaluation corpus as used for the 2009 evaluation. The MCTTR data set is available at no cost. Please contact sed_poc [at] nist.gov (sed_poc[at]nist[dot]gov) for additional details.
