Video Dataset of Human Actions

To help with further research into human action recognition, we’ve released a new dataset that provides multiple action labels for each person in extended video sequences. The dataset consists of URLs for publicly available videos from YouTube, annotated with a set of 80 atomic actions (such as “walk” or “shake hands”) that are spatial-temporally localized, resulting in over 57 thousand video segments, 96 thousand labeled humans performing actions, and a total of 210 thousand action labels. Examples, charts, and a link to download the data are on the post.
