Abstract
The TREC Video Retrieval Evaluation (TRECVID) 2012 was a TREC-style video analysis and retrieval evaluation, the goal of which was to promote progress in content-based exploitation of digital video via open, metrics-based evaluation. TRECVID 2012 represented a continuation of five tasks from TRECVID 2011 with some variations and significantly new data, along with the initiation of the multimedia event recounting task. 57 teams from various research organizations --- 21 from Europe, 19 from Asia, 15 from North America, 1 from South America, and 1 from Australia --- completed one or more of six tasks: semantic indexing, known-item search, instance search, multimedia event detection, multimedia event recounting, and surveillance event detection.
