Abstract

PKU-MMD is a new large scale benchmark for continuous multi-modality 3D human action understanding and covers a wide range of complex human activities with well annotated information. PKU-MMD contains 1076 long video sequences in 51 action categories, performed by 66 subjects in three camera views. It contains almost 20,000 action instances and 5.4 million frames in total. Our dataset also provides multi-modality data sources, including RGB, depth, Infrared Radiation and Skeleton.

Dataset Description

PKU-MMD is our new large-scale dataset focusing on long continuous sequences action detection and multi-modality action analysis. The dataset is captured via the Kinect v2 sensor.

Phase #1 contains 1076 long video sequences in 51 action categories, performed by 66 subjects in three camera views. It contains almost 20,000 action instances and 5.4 million frames in total. Each video lasts about 3~4 minutes (recording ratio set to 30 FPS) and contains approximately 20 action instances. The total scale of our dataset is 5,312,580 frames of 3,000 minutes with 21,545 temporally localized actions. We choose 51 action classes in total, which are divided into two parts: 41 daily actions (drinking, waving hand, putting on the glassed, etc.) and 10 interaction actions (hugging, shaking hands, etc.). 66 distinct subjects are invited for our data collection. Each subjects takes part in 4 daily action videos and 2 interactive action videos.our videos only contain one part of the actions, either daily actions or interaction actions. We design 54 sequences and divide subjects into 9 groups, and each groups randomly choose 6 sequences to perform.

We provide 5 categories of resources: depth maps, RGB images, skeleton joints, infrared sequences, and RGB videos.

• Depth maps are sequences of two dimensional depth values in millimeters. The resolution is 512x424.
• Joint information consists of 3-dimensional locations of 25 major body joints for detected and tracked human bodies in the scene. We further provide the confidence of each joints point as appendix.
• RGB videos are recorded in the provided resolution of 1920x1080.
• Infrared sequences are also collected and stored frame by frame in 512x424.

Data Format

• Video Files:  RGB files are compressed to avi videos in 30 FPS using ffmpeg. File name format is XXXX-V.avi for No. XXXX video file in view V. For example 0001-L.avi is the first video in left-sidee view.
• Skeleton Files:  For each video, there exists a skeleton file XXXX-V.skeleton which contains several lines for frame-level skeleton data. Each line contains 3x25x2 float numbers for 3-dimensional locations of 25 major body joints of 2 subjects.
• Label Files:  For each video, there exists a label file named XXXX-V.label illustrating the ground truth labels. Several lines will be given, each line contains 4 integers for Label, start, end, confidence respectively. Note that confidence is either 1 or 2 for slight and strong recommendation respectively.
• Depth Files:  A folder is provided for each video which contains several images corresponding to each frame. Each image is in two-dimensional 512x424 png format.
• RGB Files:  A folder is provided for each video which contains several images corresponding to each frame. Each image is in three-dimensional 1920x1080 jpeg format.
• Infrared Files: A folder is provided for each video which contains several images corresponding to each frame. Each image is in one-dimensional 512x424 png format.
