Feature request: post-competition export shot identification

[amplejoe]

It is difficult to precisely identify the targeted media item for visual/textual KIS tasks when using the exported query set in JSON format, as is made available for VBS2021 here. The problem is that the server-generated media item ids can not easily be mapped to the underlying videos, making it hard to find a particular target segment.

It would be great to include some information to make this easier, i.e. a field containing the filename/videoId/(shotIds). This would much ease retrieving post-competition information on particular tasks, e.g. for describing task solution strategies in papers.

Thank you!

Thank you for your input. Indeed, the file available from VBS2021 is not that usable in this regard. This type of export is no longer available (see #255 ), as it was meant to be used within the server only. However, there already exists proper export functionality for the CLI (compeition export -h for further information).

Anyways, we are working towards making exports for the competition available (#281 )

[amplejoe]

I see - thank you for this clarification!

With the next release of DRES, this behaviour will be added (as #281 got quickly taken care of). With regards to the VBS2021 competition, I guess one could ask the organisers for the proper competition export.

EDIT: @amplejoe It would be kind if you could mark any of the answers as solution, so that people can see that this discussion was resolved 😃

[amplejoe]

I would if I had the option to do that.

[sauterl]

Wouldn't you (as OP) do that by voting (pressing the arrow up button) on the reply that satisfies your question the most?

Unfortunately, at Klagenfurt University we used temporally virtual server for the VBS, which was shut down (removed) a few days after the VBS. The entire data directory was copied/exported though (data, events, logs, statistics), but it seems there is no possibility to extract the video numbers from this data (only the GUID, which we cannot link back) - or is there one?

[lucaro]

DRES stores all its data in the (aptly named) 'data' directory, so as long as you have that one, all run information can still be restored. There was a difference between the export available via the frontend and the one available via the CLI, where the former only contained the IDs. There is a backend export of the entire run though, which also contains the media information as well as the submissions, see: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ny7aXsHuLaN0ioJX2JzRrjFN-EjRD3RQ/view?usp=sharing

Thanks very much, Luca! It is good to know that every information is there (if someone needs the mapping between GUID and video ID, please just let me know). I think we can close this thread now.
