Dataset Details

Dataset Description

This is a curated subset of the Egocentric-10K dataset, focusing exclusively on Factory 51 with limited video sequences per worker. The subset contains egocentric video data captured from head-mounted cameras worn by factory workers during their daily tasks, providing first-person perspective footage of real manufacturing environments and hand-object interactions.

The subset includes the first 51 video clips (indices 0-50) from each worker in Factory 51, making it a more manageable dataset for research, development, and prototyping while maintaining the diversity of worker perspectives and temporal coverage.

• Curated by: Build AI (original dataset)
• Funded by: Build AI (original dataset)

Uses

Direct Use

This dataset subset is suitable for:

• Egocentric vision research: Developing and testing algorithms for first-person video understanding
• Hand detection and tracking: Training models to detect and track hands in industrial environments
• Action recognition: Recognizing manipulation actions and work activities in factory settings
• Object interaction analysis: Understanding how workers interact with tools and materials
• Temporal action segmentation: Segmenting continuous work activities into discrete actions
• Prototyping and development: Testing computer vision pipelines on real-world industrial data with manageable dataset size
• Educational purposes: Teaching egocentric vision concepts with authentic factory footage
• Transfer learning: Pre-training or fine-tuning models for industrial or egocentric vision tasks

Out-of-Scope Use

This dataset should not be used for:

• Worker surveillance or monitoring: The dataset is intended for research purposes, not for tracking individual worker productivity or behavior
• Performance evaluation of individual workers: Videos should not be used to assess or compare worker performance
• Biometric identification: The dataset should not be used to develop facial recognition or worker identification systems
• Safety compliance enforcement: While useful for safety research, it should not be used punitively
• Generalization to all factories: This is data from a single factory (Factory 51) and may not represent all manufacturing environments
• Real-time production systems without validation: Models trained on this subset should be thoroughly validated before deployment

Dataset Structure

The dataset is organized as a FiftyOne video dataset with the following structure:

Fields

Each video sample contains:

• filepath: Path to the MP4 video file
• metadata: VideoMetadata object containing:
  • size_bytes: File size in bytes
  • mime_type: "video/mp4"
  • frame_width: 1920 pixels
  • frame_height: 1080 pixels
  • frame_rate: 30.0 fps
  • duration: Video duration in seconds
  • encoding_str: "h265" (H.265/HEVC codec)
• worker_id: Unique identifier for the worker (e.g., "worker_001", "worker_002", etc.)
• video_index: Sequential index of the video for that worker (0-50)
• factory_id: "factory_051" (constant for this subset)

Statistics

• Factory: 1 (Factory 51 only)
• Workers: 8 workers (worker_001 through worker_008)
• Videos per worker: Up to 51 (indices 0-51)
• Total videos: 408 video clips
• Resolution: 1080p (1920x1080)
• Frame rate: 30 fps
• Video codec: H.265/HEVC
• Format: MP4
• Field of view: 128° horizontal, 67° vertical
• Camera type: Monocular head-mounted (Build AI Gen 1)
• Audio: No

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

This subset was created to provide a more manageable version of the Egocentric-10K dataset for researchers and developers who:

• Need a representative sample of factory egocentric video data
• Have limited computational resources or storage capacity
• Want to prototype and test algorithms before scaling to the full dataset
• Require data from a single factory environment for controlled experiments
• Need temporal coverage (51 sequential videos per worker) without the full dataset size

By limiting to Factory 51 and the first 51 videos per worker, this subset maintains:

• Temporal diversity: Sequential videos capture different times and activities
• Worker diversity: Multiple workers provide varied perspectives and work styles
• Environmental consistency: Single factory reduces environmental variability
• Manageable scale: Suitable for development and testing workflows

Source Data

Data Collection and Processing

Original Data Collection (by Build AI):

• Videos captured using Build AI Gen 1 head-mounted cameras
• Recorded in Factory 51 during normal work operations
• Workers wore monocular cameras with 128° horizontal FOV
• Captured at 1080p resolution, 30 fps
• Encoded in H.265/HEVC for efficient storage
• No audio recorded

Subset Curation Process:

1. Downloaded Factory 51 data from Hugging Face: https://huggingface.co/datasets/builddotai/Egocentric-10K/tree/main/factory_051
2. Extracted tar archives containing video and metadata pairs
3. Filtered to retain only videos with video_index 0-50 (first 51 videos per worker)
4. Deleted videos with video_index > 50
5. Organized into FiftyOne dataset structure with metadata preservation

Recommendations

Users should:

• Validate on diverse data: Test models on data from other factories, environments, and contexts before deployment
• Consider ethical implications: Use data responsibly and avoid surveillance or punitive applications
• Acknowledge limitations: Report the single-factory, limited-temporal nature of the subset in publications
• Respect privacy: Implement additional privacy protections if sharing derived data or visualizations
• Supplement with annotations: Consider adding task-specific annotations for supervised learning applications
• Combine with other datasets: Use alongside other egocentric datasets (Ego4D, EPIC-KITCHENS, etc.) for robustness
• Monitor for bias: Evaluate models for fairness across different worker characteristics and conditions
