<div>Dear All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are organizing the ActEV 1.B Evaluation (https://actev.nist.gov/), with the goals to assess the capability of algorithms to correctly detect activities in unconstrained videos. The first phase of the evaluation is run as a Self-Reported Evaluation.
We invite everyone to take part in the evaluation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The revised draft evaluation plan (https://actev.nist.gov/uassets/7) for the 1.B evaluation. Page 8 of the Evaluation plan has the list of 19 activities for the 1.B Eval and Appendix C has descriptions about the activities. The 1.B Test data will be based
on the VIRAT-V1 and VIRAT-V2 datasets (the Leaderboard Test data was only based on VIRAT V1 dataset).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Besides the AD and AOD task, we have added the Activity Object Detection and Tracking (AODT) task.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, download the VIRAT-V1 JSON training and validation sets for the 1.B evaluation (same as for the ActEV Leaderboard evaluation), and includes the 19 activities and all the object bounding boxes, from the link: https://mig.nist.gov/actev-data/</div>
