Ground Truth Verification Tool (GTVT) for Video Surveillance Systems

— As cameras and storage devices have become cheaper, the number of video surveillance systems has also increased. Video surveillance was (and mostly is) done by human operators on a need-to-know basis. The advent of new algorithms from the computer vision community, and increased computational power offered by new CPUs have shown a strong possibility of automating this task. Different approaches have been proposed by computer scientists to solve the difficult problem of content recognition from video data. They use many different videos to prove their usefulness and accuracy. A careful comparison and evaluation needs to be done to find the most suitable method under given conditions. To compare the results given by video surveillance applications, the ground truth needs to be established. In the case of computer vision, the ground truth needs to be provided by humans, making it one of the most time-consuming tasks in the evaluation process. This paper presents a tool (GTVT) that all...
