BESSI: an experimentation system for vision module evaluation

In past years, the complexity of computer vision software systems has grown considerably. As in other software development areas, there is a need for accurate descriptions of system behavior in practical situations. One element is software documentation, another more important one is the performance for various data inputs. These descriptions are essential for maintainability and successful application of software in the long term. We present an experimentation system for the evaluation of computer vision modules. The system is capable of collecting data, executing experiments and analysing the generated data. In the paper the architecture of BESSI is discussed and the system is illustrated by an example
