| Performance Evaluation of Surveillance Systems Effectively evaluating the performance of moving object detection and tracking algorithms is in an important step towards attaining robust digital video surveillance systems with sufficient accuracy for practical applications. As systems become more complex and achieve greater robustness, the ability to quantitatively assess performance is needed in order to continuously improve performance. To this end, we are providing video sequences and ground truth annotations for performance evaluation. Ground Truth sequences have extension .pvann and are xml files. An explanation of the ground truth procedure can be found in the paper [1] . Performance metrics and an evaluation of the IBM Smart Surveillance System can also be found in this publication. 1.
