OVERVIEW

We are excited to announce the SkiTB Visual Tracking Challenge, part
of the CV4WS workshop at WACV 2025. This challenge focuses on tracking
skiers' performances across multiple camera views in complex,
real-world winter sports environments. Participants will design
trackers capable of following a skier throughout a performance,
starting with the bounding box in the first frame and localizing the
skier in all subsequent frames.

The challenge leverages the SkiTB dataset, featuring: 300 multi-camera
professional skiing videos; 352,978 annotated frames; Full HD videos
in dynamic, snowy outdoor environments. This dataset offers a unique
opportunity to test tracking models on complex scenarios typical of
winter sports.
