Abstract

The TREC Video Retrieval Evaluation (TRECVID) 2014 was a TREC-style video analysis and retrieval evaluation, the goal of which remains to promote progress in content-based exploitation of digital video via open, metrics-based evaluation. Over the last dozen years this effort has yielded a better understanding of how systems can effectively accomplish such processing and how one can reliably benchmark their performance. TRECVID is funded by the NIST and other US government agencies. Many organizations and individuals worldwide contribute significant time and effort. TRECVID 2014 represented a continuation of five tasks from 2013. Forty teams from various research organizations worldwide completed one or more of five tasks: semantic indexing, instance search, multimedia event detection, multimedia event recounting, and surveillance event detection.
