One of the major objectives of COST292 activity is to benchmark state-of-the-art algorithms for multimodal analysis of digital media targeting semantic retrieval. Thus, being a leading international action in content-based retrieval from digital videos, NIST TRECVID evaluation initiative is a focal point of COST292.

In 2006 COST 292 participated with successfully results to all TRECVID tasks:

• Shot Boundary Detection,
• High- level Feature Extraction Task,
• Search Task,
• Rushes Task.

The following year (2007) COST 292 provided again its contribution to all TRECVID tasks improving the results obtained the previous year.

In 2008, COST 292 will participate to following tasks:

• Rushes,
• High-level feature extraction,
• Search,
• Surveillance event detection,
• Copy detection.
