The goal of this competition is to estimate the content of photographs for the purpose of retrieval and automatic annotation using a subset of the large hand-labeled ImageNet dataset (10,000,000 labeled images depicting 10,000+ object categories) as training. Test images will be presented with no initial annotation -- no segmentation or labels -- and algorithms will have to produce labelings specifying what objects are present in the images. New test images will be collected and labeled especially for this competition and are not part of the previously published ImageNet dataset. The general goal is to identify the main objects present in images. This year, we also have a detection task of specifying the location of objects.
More information is available on the webpage for last year's competition here:
ILSVRC 2011.
The validation and test data for this competition will consist of 150,000 photographs, collected from flickr and other search engines, hand labeled with the presence or absence of 1000 object categories. The 1000 object categories contain both internal nodes and leaf nodes of ImageNet, but do not overlap with each other. A random subset of 50,000 of the images with labels will be released as validation data included in the development kit along with a list of the 1000 categories. The remaining images will be used for evaluation and will be released without labels at test time.
The training data, the subset of ImageNet containing the 1000 categories and 1.2 million images, will be packaged for easy downloading. The validation and test data for this competition are not contained in the ImageNet training data (we will remove any duplicates).
