EventActivityNet v1.0 Dataset Generation
Source Video Lineage
EventActivityNet v1.0 was generated from the non-interpolated/original-rate ActivityNet video lineage. It was not generated from the recovered 240fps interpolated video directory.
Source FPS varies by video. The generator records FPS metadata per HDF5 file and preserves source spatial resolution.
Large Subset Curation
The Large release exactly matches the recovered original Large subset manifest. It contains 3,263 unique video IDs.
The recovered subset curation implementation:
- merges ActivityNet Captions train and validation metadata before sampling;
- uses seed
2025; - performs initial class-balanced sampling with
max(5, int(class_ratio * class_count)); - uses default
class_ratio=0.2; - length-balances using 33% and 66% duration quantiles;
- enriches with event-friendly examples from caption keywords or first-frame darkness.
Event-friendly keywords:
run, fast, sprint, night, dark, slow-motion
Darkness threshold:
normalized first-frame mean brightness < 0.4
The minimum-per-class rule is an initial sampling-stage rule. Later global length balancing can reduce final per-class counts below that initial quota.
HDF5 Generation Pipeline
The confirmed generation call chain is:
activitynet.shactivitynet.pymp4_to_h5.mp4_to_h5_stream()data/v2v_core_esim_gpu.EventEmulatorGPU.video_to_voxel()- HDF5 writer
Confirmed generation parameters:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Source video lineage | non-interpolated/original-rate ActivityNet videos |
| Number of bins | 5 |
frames_per_bin |
1 |
| Spatial resizing | none; source resolution preserved |
| Output event dtype | int16 |
voxel_event_start dtype |
int64 |
voxel_event_count dtype |
int32 |
events compression |
gzip+shuffle |
| Auxiliary compression | LZF+shuffle |
| Learned checkpoint required | no |
The recovered implementation shows that no learned HyperE2VID/V2V checkpoint is used for HDF5 generation. Checkpoints found in the recovered project belong to downstream reconstruction/evaluation code, not to the generation of the HDF5 voxel files.
Voxel Metadata Semantics
The generator emits event slices from adjacent grayscale video frames and accumulates them into output voxel samples.
voxel_event_start[t]is the generated-slice start index for voxel samplet.voxel_event_count[t]is the number of generated slices accumulated into voxel samplet.
Release Scale Construction
Large is the recovered historical subset.
Medium and Small are newly generated deterministic nested v1.0 release scales:
Small subset Medium subset Large
Target durations:
- Medium: approximately 50 hours.
- Small: approximately 20 hours.
Scale construction uses seed 2025 and stratifies by:
(split, class_label, duration_bucket, event_friendly)
Within each stratum, records are ranked deterministically by a stable hash of seed and video ID.
Verified Output
Final validation confirmed:
- 3,263 valid HDF5 files;
- all files open successfully;
- zero truncated or unreadable files;
- zero remaining structural warnings;
- Large train/validation split: 2,316 / 947.
