XML-based data-format for image analysis results

There is a lot of systems, which solve similar problems (e.g. face detection), even on different levels (e.g. on the level of the whole face or on the level of face features). Unfortunately,  integration or comparison of results of different systems is difficult, also because of ununified data-format for presenting results. We could besides the images themselves give the actual contents of the image (the groundtruth) and gradually add analyses results of different systems. This would bring easier comparison of results and easier integration of different levels of image processing.

Therefore, we intend  to suggest and implement a scheme for uniform data-format for image analysis results, which will be based on XML language.
