The Design and Implementation of ViPER

A video sequence may contain any number of persons, objects and activities. ViPER-GT is a tool for annotating a video with detailed spatial and temporal information about its contents. This paper is for people who wish to extend it for their own needs, or curious users who wish to understand some of its design choices. It presents information about ViPER-GT's predecessors (and antecedents), information about its design and implementation and some use cases.
