1. Tracking results

It is possible to submit results for all data or for at least one of the following subsets:

• all 2D point-tracking test data (CIL, ETH, ICR, MED)
• all 3D point-tracking test data (EMC, ICR, SMT)

Partial results for these subsets will not be assessed.

Data format

Please submit your tracking results in a zip archive to be named as the provided username. Additionally, name the tracking results according to the corresponding sequences and as done for the annotation of the first image. Please submit the tracking results in the same format as provided for the testing sequences of each test set subgroup. In details:

• Point tracking results:
  • File name SequenceName_PointNumber, file format .txt, e.g. ETH-01-1_1.txt
  • File content: 3 (4) columns for 2D (3D) sequences indicating, in each row, frame number, x-coordinate, y-coordinate(, z-coordinate) in pixels (voxels) of the tracked point. Please include results for all frames

Results evaluation

The organizers will quantitatively evaluate the submitted tracking results with respect to ground truth annotations. For the evaluation we will consider the following measurement:

• Euclidean distance between the tracked points and manual annotation
Error statistics will be summarized by mean, standard deviation and 95%.

We will provide the authors with the outcome of the aforementioned evaluation. After approval of the authors, we will include the quantitative evaluation of the tracking results in Results.

The inclusion of the results can be:

• Informal, for not yet accepted papers
• Official, which will have full authorship information and description of the method from a paper, which has been accepted for publication
More information can be found in the challenge Rules.

2. Paper format

Participants shall provide a paper describing their method on 4-8 pages. Papers need to contain sufficient details to enable organizers to identify and discriminate between methods, and to verify that the rules regarding method's parameters were fulfilled. The file format for all submissions is Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Other formats will not be accepted.

Authors of accepted papers shall notify the CLUST organizers (contact us) such that results can be published in the official Results webpage and the paper can be added to the CLUST publications.
