Comments

• Faces and Facial Expressions, Handwriting, Medical, Motion, Object Recognition, Surveillance Images, etc.
• PEIPA is an archive relating to image processing and analysis, with emphasis on computer vision. Its principal aim is to provide information, datasets and software that allow the effectiveness of algorithms to be measured and compared. This is known variously as performance characterization, performance estimation and benchmarking.

• The development and maintenance of the PEIPA web-site is currently funded under a European project entitled Performance Characterization in Computer Vision (PCCV). This project was set up by Patrick Courtney while at Visual Automation in Manchester (UK), though it has been managed by Neil Thacker of ISBE, University of Manchester since Patrick moved to Perkin-Elmer. The other partners in PCCV are Henrick Christensen of KTH in Stockholm (Sweden) and Adrian Clark of the University of Essex in Colchester (UK), where these pages reside.
