REU: Week 10

Set Backs Lost data so unfortunately no results for today. The descriptors are recomputing and we should have results early next week.

Key Frames Multiple extractors are running. Generates roughly 500 frames per video Rough estimate of 300 000 frames for the test set We will start running descriptors on these today.

Histograms Mentioned last week that we would be doing early fusion. Due to processing time we will most likely be doing dense-sampling with opponent sift and harris-laplace with rgsift. Dense sampling should give us plenty of background information which really helps in some categories. Opponent Sift and RG Sift are the two best descriptors we can generate based on Koen van de Sande's paper and are complementary.

Coming Up Two weeks left. Full runs will begin next week. Write up portion of TRECVID paper.
