LPIRC is an on-site competition. All participants must bring their systems to the competition sites
- 2015 San Francisco (with Design Automation Conference)
- 2016 Austin (with Design Automation Conference)
- 2017 Honolulu (with Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition)
- 2018 Salt Lake City (with Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition)
LPIRC uses a client-server model: the referee is the web server and participants' systems are clients. To reduce intereference, only one client is allowed to connect to the server at any moment. The server and the client use HTTP for communication. The client uses GET to retreive images and POST to return answers.
Please read the Sample Client Program.
Procedure to prepare for a system:
- Download Sample Images
- Divide the images into training and testing sets
- Train the recognition program
- Download the Sample Client
- Download the Referee Program
- Set up the referee system.
- Copy the testing data to the referee
- Test the communication between the sample client and the referee
- Test the system with the referee
