# AnyGroundBench Dataset

AnyGroundBench is a benchmark-style collection for temporal, spatial, and spatio-temporal grounding experiments.

This release is organized by domain. Metadata and split files are included for all domains. Video files are included only for the newly captured American Football and Mouse data. Videos from third-party datasets are not redistributed in this release.

## Paper

[AnyGroundBench: A Specialized-Domain Benchmark for Video Grounding in Vision-Language Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.02269)

`-- data/
    |-- animal/

```

Each domain directory follows this layout:

```text
data/<domain>/
|-- meta-data/
|   |-- s_train.json
|   |-- s_test.json
|   |-- t_train.json
|   |-- t_test.json
|   |-- st_train.json
|   `-- st_test.json
|-- data_splits/
|   |-- train.txt
|   `-- test.txt
`-- videos/
    |-- clips/
    `-- clips4spatial/
```

The `safety` domain also includes `filename_mapping.json`.

## Domains

| Domain | Source datasets | Videos included in this release |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `animal` | `animal_kingdom`, `mouse` | Mouse only |
| `sports` | `american_football`, `multisports` | American Football only |
| `industry` | `enigma`, `meccano` | None |
| `safety` | `dota`, `uca` | None |
| `surgery` | `cholectrack20`, `egosurgery` | None |

## Video Layout

Temporal and spatio-temporal videos are stored under:

```text
data/<domain>/videos/clips/<video_name>.mp4
```

Spatial clips are stored under:

```text
data/<domain>/videos/clips4spatial/<video_name>.mp4
```

The old `videos/0/` layout is no longer used.

In this release, `data/animal/videos/` contains only Mouse videos, and `data/sports/videos/` contains only American Football videos. The other domains include empty `clips/` and `clips4spatial/` directories for local reconstruction.


## Redistribution Policy

This repository releases videos only for the newly captured American Football and Mouse datasets. For all third-party datasets, this repository provides metadata and split files only; users must obtain source videos separately under the original provider terms.

Users are responsible for complying with the licenses and usage terms of the original datasets.
