TRECVID is the leading global benchmark on video retrieval, organized by NIST, USA. I have been involved as a scientific co-coordinator (with Alan Smeaton) from 2003. TRECVID has been a very influential activity and resource for research in multimedia information retrieval, in particular for video. Through the years, TRECVID has programmed both core and supportive tasks, such as (video) ad hoc search, semantic indexing, summarization, copy detection, instance search and multimedia event detection. Find more information on TRECVID at the project website.
