At FRI Piškot Seminar on Thursday, 30 March 2017, Luka Čehovin Zajc will talk about Visual Object Tracking (VOT) initiative that is run by Visual Cognitive Systems Laboratory at the Faculty of Computer and Information Science. We meet at 14.15 in lecture hall 22.

Is my new tracker really better than yours?

Abstract:
I will present our work on performance evaluation in computer vision which is the cornerstone of the international Visual Object Tracking initiative. The initiative annually organizes competitions and workshops to bring together researchers with the goal of establishing standardized evaluation protocols. We have learned that building a strong community requires addressing methodological, technical as well as social aspects. I will talk about these and provide an outlook into the future of the initiative.
