Datasets

  1. FT-HID Dataset: The dataset contains more than 38K RGB samples, 38K depth samples, and about 20K skeleton sequences. 30 classes of daily actions are designed specically for multi-person interaction with a wearable device and three fixed cameras. FT-HID dataset has a comparable number of data, action classes, and scenes with other RGB-D action recognition datasets. It is more complex as the data is collected from 109 distinct subjects with large variations in gender, age, and physical condition. More importantly, to the best of our knowledge, it is the first large-scale RGB-D dataset that is collected from both TPV and FPV perspectives for action recognition. Please cite the following papers if you use the dataset: Zihui Guo, Yonghong Hou, Pichao Wang, Zhimin Gao, Mingliang Xu and Wanqing Li, "FT-HID: A Large Scale RGB-D Dataset for First and Third Person Human Interaction Analysis", Neural Computing and Applications, 2022. paper code

  2. UOW Online Action3D Dataset: this dataset consists of action sequences of skeleton videos, the 20 actions are from the original MSR Action3D Dataset. The action videos are recorded by Microsoft Kinect V.2 with average 20fms/s frame rate. There are 20 participants to perform these actions, every participant performs each action according to his/her personal habits. For each participant, he/she first repeats each action 3--5 times, then performs 20 actions continuously in a random order. These continuous action sequences can be used for online action recognition testing. The repeated action sequences will be used for training. In order to make the dataset can be used for cross dataset test, the 20 participants perform the actions in 4 different environments.Please cite the following papers if you use the dataset:
