Abstract

The Enhancing Computer Vision for Public Safety Challenge is an open innovation competition from NIST PSCR focused on advancing the capacity of no-reference (NR) metrics and computer vision algorithms to support public safety missions. The finalists in this challenge are creating image or video datasets that will help further image quality research and development aimed at better diagnosis and prediction of camera problems. This session explores the background of this technology area and highlights the challenge goals and the potential for what computer vision can do for public safety.
