The procedure for licensing the data is as follows:
                    - Apply to participate in the TRECVID Surveillance Event Detection evaluation by completing the TRECVID registration forms. For more details, see:  http://trecvid.nist.gov/ .
                    - The development data consists of the 2008 Event Detection Training and Testing sets. Follow the instructions in the guidelines  http://www-nlpir.nist.gov/projects/tv2014/tv2014.html#licenses .  NIST will acknowledge receipt, and then you should proceed to the next step.
                    - The evaluation set is the UK Home Office Centre for Applied Science and Technology' (CAST) (formerly Home Office Scientific Development Branch's (HOSDB)) i-LIDS MCTTR dataset. This is the same evaluation corpus as used for the 2009 evaluation. The MCTTR data set is available at no cost. Please contact  sed_poc [at] nist.gov (sed_poc[at]nist[dot]gov)  for additional details.

MCT Application Form

End User License Agreement (EULA) for Commercial Companies

End User License Agreement (EULA) for Academic Institutions 

Note: Please be sure on the application form to indicate that you are applying in order to participate in the TRECVID evaluation.

### Development Data Acquisition

Download the data by either going through the TRECVID data servers (check server lists in the active participants area) or by shipping a hard drive (at least 250 GB) to:
> 
Martial Michel100 Bureau Drive, Mail Stop 8940Gaithersburg, MD 20899USA

Annotations for the Development corpora are available, knowing that accessing/downloading these data resources, you agree to the following conditions: the data will be used for research purposes only, the data will only be discussed within the TRECVid community, the data will not be used for advertising, the data will not be redistributed. If you agree with those terms, click here to obtain the data (3.8 MB).

### Test Data Acquisition

To obtain the test data (i.e., the 2009 i-LIDS MCTTR dataset) from NIST, download the MPEG-2 video using a CAST-assigned username and password from the URL http://ir.nist.gov/tv2009/iLIDS/Video/Eval09/. The MPEG-2 video is compatible, (same frame rate, resolution, and de-interlaced) with the Development data set. This MPEG-2 data is 150GB.
