Multimodal Action Recognition on the MECCANO Dataset (ICIAP Competition with Prize!)

Submission deadline has been extended to August 07, 2023!!

This is the official github repository related to the MECCANO Dataset.

MECCANO is a multimodal dataset of egocentric videos to study humans behavior understanding in industrial-like settings. The multimodality is characterized by the presence of gaze signals, depth maps and RGB videos acquired simultaneously with a custom headset. You can download the MECCANO dataset and its annotations from the project web page.

Use the MECCANO Dataset with PySlowFast

To use the MECCANO Dataset in PySlowfast please follow the instructions below:

• Install PySlowFast following the official instructions;
• Download the PySlowFast_files folder from this repository;
• Place the files "init.py", "meccano.py" and "sampling.py" in your slowfast/datasets/ folder;
• Place the files "init.py", "custom_video_model_builder_MECCANO_gaze.py" in your slowfast/models/ folder (to use the gaze signal).

Now, run the training/test with:

python tools/run_net.py --cfg path_to_your_config_file --[optional flags]

Pre-Extracted Features

We provide pre-extracted features of MECCANO Dataset:

• RGB features extracted with SlowFast: [coming soon]

PySlowFast models

We provided pretrained models on the MECCANO Dataset for the action recognition task (only for the first version of the dataset):

architecture	depth	model	config
I3D	R50	link	configs/action_recognition/I3D_8x8_R50.yaml
SlowFast	R50	link	configs/action_recognition/SLOWFAST_8x8_R50.yaml

We provided pretrained models on the MECCANO Multimodal Dataset for the action recognition task:

architecture	depth	modality	model	config
SlowFast	R50	RGB	link	configs/action_recognition/SLOWFAST_8x8_R50_MECCANO.yaml
SlowFast	R50	Depth	link	configs/action_recognition/SLOWFAST_8x8_R50_MECCANO.yaml
