The original web page for this workshop (actev.nist.gov/workshop/hadcv19) was hosted by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), which has been closed because of the partial shutdown of the US Government. This webpage is a temporary surrogate and does not contain all of the content of the original. The workshop will happen as originally planned on Jan. 7, 2019 with the schedule as published in the hardcopy conference booklet, and also listed below.

This workshop is part of the 2019 IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV) at the Hilton Waikoloa Village in Hawaii, Jan. 7-11, 2019.

This workshop has an associated data challenge, the Activities in Extended Videos (ACTEV) Prize Challenge sponsored by IARPA. See details at https://actevchallenge.avidannotations.com. In a preliminary phase of the challenge, the top three submissions as of October 2018 were invited to give presentations at this workshop. The challenge continues through February 2019 with substantial prize money and the winners presenting at the ActivityNet workshop at CVPR 2019.
