PE Video Dataset (PVD)
The PE Video Dataset (PVD) is a large-scale collection of 1 million diverse videos, featuring 120,000+ expertly annotated clips. The dataset was introduced in our paper "Perception Encoder".
Overview
PE Video Dataset (PVD) comprises 1M high quality and diverse videos. Among them, 120K videos are accompanied by automated and human-verified annotations. and all videos are accompanied with video description and keywords. The videos are motion-centered, covering both first-person and third-person views with a wide coverage of scenes.
PVD
Key Application
Computer Vision, Video Understanding
Intended Use Cases
Train and evaluate video retrieval models Train and evaluate video captioning models Primary Data type Videos Video caption (Human annotated / Model generated)
Data Function
Training, Testing
Dataset Characteristics
- Total number of videos: 998,862
- Total number of human annotated captions: 118,862
- Average FPS: 29.8
- Average Video Length: 16.7s
- Average video height: 346
- Average video width: 604
Labels
A text description that summarizes the content of a video describing what's happening in the video, such as the actions, events, or objects shown.
Nature Of Content
We selected videos from 10 different categories, including hand actions, object interactions, food preparation, work activities, outdoor scenes, animals, water scenes, object handling, close-up shots, and nature scenes.
License
CC BY NC 4.0
Access Cost
Open access
Labeling Methods
The video captions are refined based on the following criteria. The annotators should remove any hallucinations found in the model-generated caption, correct words that describe the video inaccurately, and eliminate repeating or redundant words to make the caption concise and accurate. Additionally, if major actions are missing from the caption, annotators should add them in a concise and natural way.
Validation Methods
All of the 118,862 human captions were reviewed by human annotators.
