How does this dataset differ from Ego4D?
Ego4D collected unscripted daily life activities. Instead,
we here focus on skilled activities specifically, ensuring
participants of diverse levels of skill are recorded
performing the same scenario, while maintaining distinctions
natural to the scenario being carried out in a new
environment. We cover both procedural and physical skilled
activities. While some of these general scenarios have been
captured in Ego4D (there are indeed examples of cooking,
climbing or soccer), these are disjoint and do not record
the same scenario making them unsuitable for tasks related
to to keystep recognition or skill assessment.
Importantly, Ego-Exo4D is a multi-view dataset with
synchronized egocentric and multiple exocentric view. This
is the largest and most diverse effort for multi-view
ego-exo data.
The egocentric views are captured using the Aria Project
devices.
