We will also provide detailed reports on the subset of test data for each submission including, Detection Error Tradeoff curve, Ranking and score on individual activities, The sequestered data is from the MEVA (Multiview Extended Video with Activities) Test3 dataset, which contains 140 hours of time-synchronized multi-camera videos, including indoor and outdoor scenes, night and day, crowds and individuals, and videos are from both EO (Electro-Optical) and IR (Infrared) sensors.
