5th IAPR Workshop on Pattern Recognition in Remote Sensing
Algorithm Performance Contest

The International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) Technical
Committee 7 is organizing an algorithm performance contest in
conjunction with the 5th IAPR Workshop on Pattern Recognition in Remote
Sensing (PRRS 2008). The contest involves the running and evaluation of
pattern recognition techniques on two different remote sensing data sets
with known ground truth.

The contest is open not only to Technical Committee 7 members but to all
researchers. The results of the contest will be presented in the
workshop in Tampa, Florida, USA on 7 December 2008, and will be
summarized in a paper that will appear in the workshop proceedings in
IEEE Xplore.

The contest involves two recognition tasks:
- Building detection from monocular data
- Digital surface model extraction from stereo data

The data for both tasks are provided by the European Commission, Joint
Research Center, Institute for the Protection and Security of the
Citizen. The quantitative evaluation criteria include the computation of
misdetection and false alarm rates as well as other geometric and
thematic performance measures suitable for each problem.

Schedule:
- Deadline for submission of the results: November 15, 2008
- Workshop: December 7, 2008

Please see http://www.iapr-tc7.org/prrs08/contest for more details about
contest participation.
