Challenge Overview

 

The primary goal of The Trauma THOMPSON Challenge is to find the best algorithms for automatic action recognition and prediction using machine learning from first-person view in the medical domain (refer to egocentric datasets of medical procedures). We offer the first egocentric view dataset of life-saving intervention (LSI) procedures with detailed annotations by medical professionals. The envisioned algorithms include action recognition, action anticipation, procedure recognition, and visual question answering (VQA). 

 

The challenge participation details are available on our challenge website.  There will be prizes for the top performers!!!!
