      "content": "The AG-VPReID 2025 competition builds on the success of AG-ReID 2023, offering an advanced challenge in video-based person re-identification across aerial and ground environments. This competition introduces the new AG-VPReID dataset, which significantly expands the scope of aerial-ground person ReID research with high-altitude video data.\n\nWhat sets this competition apart is the unprecedented scale and complexity of the dataset, featuring 3,027 identities (including 1,693 distractors), 13,507 tracklets, and approximately 3.7 million frames. The data was collected using two UAVs flying at extreme altitudes of 80-120 meters, two ground-based CCTV cameras, and two wearable cameras on a university campus.\n\nThe video-based nature of this dataset introduces temporal dynamics that can be leveraged for better identification but also presents unique challenges such as motion inconsistencies and temporal misalignment. Combined with the extreme viewpoint variations, significant scale differences, low resolution at high altitudes, occlusions, motion blur, and variable lighting conditions, this competition provides a realistic test bed for developing robust person re-identification algorithms for real-world surveillance applications.\n\nParticipants will develop algorithms to match individuals across these challenging aerial and ground video sequences, with performance evaluated using mean Average Precision (mAP) and Cumulative Matching Characteristics (CMC) metrics. This competition represents a significant advancement in aerial-ground person ReID research, pushing the boundaries from image-based to video-based analysis and from moderate (45m) to extreme (120m) altitudes.",

This competition addresses the critical challenge of matching individuals between aerial drone footage and ground-level cameras—a crucial capability for modern surveillance systems, security applications, and public safety operations.\n\n### The Challenge\n\nPerson re-identification (ReID) involves matching individuals across non-overlapping camera views. While ground-based ReID has been extensively researched, aerial-ground ReID—especially at high altitudes—remains largely unexplored due to unique challenges:\n\n- Extreme viewpoint differences between aerial (80-120m altitude) and ground cameras\n- Significant scale variations and resolution disparities\n- Motion blur and occlusions in dynamic aerial footage\n- Diverse environmental conditions and illumination changes\n\n### The Dataset\n\nAG-VPReID is a novel large-scale dataset featuring:\n- 3,027 identities (including 1,693 distractors)\n- 13,507 tracklets with approximately 3.7 million frames\n- Video data captured from drones at high altitudes (80-120m)\n- Multiple ground camera perspectives (CCTV and wearable cameras)\n- 15 soft-biometric attributes annotated for each identity\n\n### Your Goal\n\nYour challenge is to develop robust algorithms for video-based person re-identification between high-altitude aerial footage and ground-level cameras. Participants will train models to accurately match individuals across these drastically different viewpoints, leveraging both spatial and temporal information in the video sequences.\n\n### Evaluation Metrics\n\nPerformance will be evaluated using:\n- Mean Average Precision (mAP)¹\n- Cumulative Matching Characteristics (CMC)² at Rank-1, Rank-5, and Rank-10\n- Altitude-specific metrics to assess robustness across different flying heights\n\n### Important Dates\n- Competition Start: March 2025\n- Competition End: June 3, 2025\n- Winners Announcement: By June 23, 2025\n\nThis competition is organized in conjunction with the International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB) 2025.\n\nJoin us in pushing the boundaries of cross-view person re-identification and developing solutions for this challenging real-world surveillance scenario!\n\n---\n\n¹ Automatically updated on the leaderboard  \n² Manually updated through announcements\n\n### Results\nResults are updated daily at 10am (AEST) and can be viewed [here](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/agvpreid25/overview/result).\n\n### Citation\n\nIf you use our dataset or code in your research, please cite our paper:\n\n```bibtex\n@inproceedings{nguyen2025agvpreid,\n  title={AG-VPReID: A Challenging Large-Scale Benchmark for Aerial-Ground Video-based Person Re-Identification},\n  author={Nguyen, Huy and Nguyen, Kien and Pemasiri, Akila and Liu, Feng and Sridharan, Sridha and Fookes, Clinton},\n  booktitle={Proceedings of the IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR)},\n  year={2025}\n}\n```",

      "content": "## How is testing done\nThe AG-VPReID 2025 competition evaluates submissions by computing mean Average Precision (mAP) (auto) and Cumulative Matching Characteristics (CMC) (manual) at Rank-1, Rank-5, and Rank-10. Participants' algorithms are tested on video tracklets from high-altitude aerial footage (80m-120m) and ground cameras, featuring individuals not included in the training sample. For each query tracklet, the gallery tracklets must be ranked based on similarity, with the query itself excluded from matching results.\n\nThe evaluation focuses specifically on two challenging cases:\n1. Using aerial tracklets as queries to find matching ground tracklets\n2. Using ground tracklets as queries to find matching aerial tracklets\n\n\nBaseline code and implementation guides will be made available through our GitHub repository [link](https://github.com/agvpreid25/AG-VPReID)\n\n## Metrics\nThis competition employs the following metrics:\n- Mean Average Precision (mAP): Evaluates the overall ranking quality across all queries\n- Cumulative Matching Characteristics (CMC) at Rank-1, Rank-5, and Rank-10: Measures the probability of finding the correct match within the top-k results\n\n## Submission File\nParticipants must provide a submission file containing the predicted gallery tracklets for each query tracklet. Each submission should follow this format:\n\n```\nrow_id,query_tracklet,gallery_tracklets\n1,query_tracklet_id_1,gallery_tracklet_id_1 gallery_tracklet_id_2 ... gallery_tracklet_id_10\n2,query_tracklet_id_2,gallery_tracklet_id_3 gallery_tracklet_id_4 ... gallery_tracklet_id_11\n```\n\nWhere:\n- `row_id`: A unique identifier for each row\n- `query_tracklet`: The ID of the query tracklet\n- `gallery_tracklets`: A space-separated list of up to 10 gallery tracklet IDs, ranked by similarity (highest first)\n\n## Note\n>**IMPORTANT**: The person identity labels in the gallery set are hidden from participants, meaning participants will not know whether their algorithm has correctly identified the target person until they submit their results and receive evaluation feedback. Participants may submit up to 10 times / day, with the best performance considered as their final result. External training data may be used but must be disclosed, and such submissions will be ranked separately.",
