ÖWFOD: A Dataset for Object Detection in Archival Film Content

In this paper we propose ÖWFOD, a new dataset for object detection in archival film content. The dataset enables the evaluation of object detection methods on image data with very different image qualities. 1,000 selected keyframes from 100 hours of video material have been annotated, 4,480 bounding boxes are labeled. In addition to these annotations, image quality measures were calculated for the keyframes in order to assess the influence of image quality on object detection. We evaluate different versions of the YOLO object detector to provide a baseline of object detection results for this dataset. The annotation data and the code to extract the keyframes are provided at https://github.com/TailoredMediaProject/OEWF_ObjectDetection.
