Number of classes increased from 10 to 20Segmentation taster introducedPerson layout taster introducedTruncation flag added to annotationsEvaluation measure for the classification challenge changed to Average Precision. Previously it had been ROC-AUC.
This year established the 20 classes, and these have been fixed since then. This was the final year that annotation was released for the testing data.
2008
20 classes. The data is split (as usual) around 50% train/val and 50% test. The train/val data has 4,340 images containing 10,363 annotated objects.
Occlusion flag added to annotationsTest data annotation no longer made public.The segmentation and person layout data sets include images from the corresponding VOC2007 sets.
2009
20 classes. The train/val data has 7,054 images containing 17,218 ROI annotated objects and 3,211 segmentations.
From now on the data for all tasks consists of the previous years' images augmented with new images. In earlier years an entirely new data set was released each year for the classification/detection tasks.Augmenting allows the number of images to grow each year, and means that test results can be compared on the previous years' images.Segmentation becomes a standard challenge (promoted from a taster)
No difficult flags were provided for the additional images (an omission).Test data annotation not made public.
2010
20 classes. The train/val data has 10,103 images containing 23,374 ROI annotated objects and 4,203 segmentations.
Action Classification taster introduced.Associated challenge on large scale classification introduced based on ImageNet.Amazon Mechanical Turk used for early stages of the annotation.
Method of computing AP changed. Now uses all data points rather than TREC style sampling.Test data annotation not made public.
2011
20 classes. The train/val data has 11,530 images containing 27,450 ROI annotated objects and 5,034 segmentations.
Action Classification taster extended to 10 classes + "other".
Layout annotation is now not "complete": only people are annotated and some people may be unannotated.
2012
20 classes. The train/val data has 11,530 images containing 27,450 ROI annotated objects and 6,929 segmentations.
Size of segmentation dataset substantially increased.People in action classification dataset are additionally annotated with a reference point on the body.
Datasets for classification, detection and person layout are the same as VOC2011.
