Duke MTMC

[ page under development ]

The Duke Multi-Target, Multi-Camera Tracking Dataset (MTMC) is a dataset of video recorded on Duke University campus during for the purpose of training, evaluating, and improving multi-target multi-camera tracking for surveillance. The dataset includes over 14 hours of 1080p video from 8 cameras positioned around Duke's campus during February and March 2014. Over 2,700 unique people are included in the dataset, which has become of the most widely used person re-identification image datasets.

The 8 cameras deployed on Duke's campus were specifically setup to capture students "during periods between lectures, when pedestrian traffic is heavy".

Biometric Trade Routes

To help understand how Duke MTMC Dataset has been used around the world by commercial, military, and academic organizations; existing publicly available research citing Duke Multi-Target, Multi-Camera Tracking Project was collected, verified, and geocoded to show the biometric trade routes of people appearing in the images. Click on the markers to reveal research projects at that location.

Citation data is collected using SemanticScholar.org then dataset usage verified and geolocated.

Dataset Citations

The dataset citations used in the visualizations were collected from Semantic Scholar, a website which aggregates and indexes research papers. Each citation was geocoded using names of institutions found in the PDF front matter, or as listed on other resources. These papers have been manually verified to show that researchers downloaded and used the dataset to train or test machine learning algorithms.
