Blog for work on my Masters thesis - a survey of methods for evaluating media understanding, object detection, and pattern matching algorithms. Mostly, it is related to ViPER, the Video Performance Evaluation Resource. If you find a good reference, or would like to comment, e-mail viper at cfar.umd.edu.

A New Version
I've put a new version on the web site. The full version is bloated; I think I included a couple of sample mpegs by mistake. I'll have to modify the build script to remove the larger mpeg. I also haven't tested the light version on a mac, but it works on my windows box. I'll have to borrow Charles's laptop later to see if it works.- posted by David @ 11:30 AM

New Main Classes
Since it was annoying setting up the run command in eclipse, and seemingly impossible to set variables from a jar manifest file, I've made two classes that invoke the apploader with the appropriate system preferences file for running the viper-gt application and the viper-cfg application (the ground truth data editor and the ground truth schema editor). The basic idea, without exception handling, is:
public class RunConfigEditor { public static void main(String[] args) { System.setProperty("lal.prefs", "gt/CONFIG/gtc-config.n3"); AppLoader.main(args); } } public class RunGT { public static void main(String[] args) { System.setProperty("lal.prefs", "gt/CONFIG/gt-config.n3"); AppLoader.main(args); } }

Taking Classes at UMCP
As a student at UMCP, I have taken classes from a few professors. Still, it is annoying that teacher and class reviews haven't taken off on the web like I thought they would. I'm still waiting for amazon or google to step in. Until they do, however, there are a few sites worth looking at: the lowdown, terp gone wild and teacherreviews.com.
