Presentation from Yves PICHON about the Project With Yves Pichon & Bernard Boulay, Malik, Slawomir…

e-Sensys is an INRIA startup project that aims at helping the retail industry to shift from analog CCTV to IP video by boosting the video system's profitability by :

-        Reducing the operator's cost in small & mid-size stores,

-        Significantly improving the operator's profitability in large stores and,

-        Using the video system to grow stores' revenue.

e-Sensys will use the Stars team's technologies as a backbone to develop the new solutions required to initiate that market shift towards IP.

PUBLICATIONS

From Rathnesh

“paper (CVPR 13 workshop) surveys various tracking
evaluation software (MOTA, MT etc) and points out following :

1. Different software produces different quantitative results .
2. Annotations for same video differs from lab to lab.

--> If you are using PNNL dataset (parking lot) from CRCV (Mubarak's)
cvpr 12 , then be careful that occluded (partial) people are not marked
and some Ids share the same time frame (lousy and poor annotation quality).
There are some other important conclusions too”
