Image, Video, and Multidimensional Signal Processing

The SUMO Challenge targets the development of algorithms for comprehensive understanding of 3D indoor scenes from 360° RGB-D panoramas. The target 3D models of indoor scenes include all visible layout elements and objects complete with pose, semantic information, and texture. Algorithms submitted are evaluated at 3 levels of complexity corresponding to 3 tracks of the challenge: oriented 3D bounding boxes, oriented 3D voxel grids, and oriented 3D meshes. SUMO Challenge results will be presented at the 2019 SUMO Challenge Workshop, at CVPR.

This challenge is the 4th annual installment of International Challenge on Activity Recognition, previously called the ActivityNet Large-Scale Activity Recognition Challenge which was first hosted during CVPR 2016. It focuses on the recognition of daily life, high-level, goal-oriented activities from user-generated videos as those found in internet video portals.

Tremendous progress has been achieved in the way consumers and professionals capture, store, deliver, display and process visual content. Emerging cameras and displays allow for the capture and visualization of new and rich forms of visual data. A new activity of the JPEG Standardization Committee, called JPEG Pleno, intends to provide a standard framework to facilitate capture, representation and exchange of plenoptic content in omnidirectional, depth-enhanced, point cloud, light field, and holographic imaging modalities.
