<div dir="ltr">Dear Dimitris,<div>both in the 2019 and previous editions of the track1 IPIN competitions, we required that the app developed by the competitors could use any sensor available on the used smartphone. Sensors external to the smartphone were not allowed and the competing app must have run entirely on the smartphone: no access to remote services like external databases or remote servers was allowed. Furthermore, competitors were not allowed to install any instrumentation in the competition area.</div><div><br></div><div>Given that and what was written in the technical annex, we decided to let competitors use any sensor (camera included) but only if that would have not influenced the pace and the way the actor would have held the smartphone. Please remember that the tested smartphone running the competing app was held by an actor external to the competing team, without particular instructions given.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope I answered your question and please let me know if you have any further questions.</div><div><br></div><div>My best regards</div><div>Filippo</div><div>Track 1 co-chair of IPIN competition</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jun 5, 2020 at 3:16 PM Dimitris Xenakis <<a href="mailto:dimitrios.xenakis@inf.unibe.ch">dimitrios.xenakis@inf.unibe.ch</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US"><div class="gmail-m_7905897478542901806WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<br>my name is Dimitris Xenakis (PhD student at Bern University) and I would like to ask regarding the IPIN19 competition (or even the previous ones) and specifically for the Track 1: “Smartphone-based” case.

Or would that fall under Track 2?<br><br>Thank you for your time,<br>Dimitris<u></u><u></u></p></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
