DogCentric Activity

The DogCentric Activity dataset is composed of dog activity videos taken from a first-person animal viewpoint. The dataset contains 10 different types of activities, including activities performed by the dog himself/herself, interactions between people and the dog, and activities performed by people or cars.

The authors attached a GoPro camera to the back of each of the four dogs, and their owners took them on a walk to their familiar walking routes. The walking routes are in various environments, such as residential area, a park along a river, a sand beach, a field, streets with traffic, etc. Thus even though different dogs do the same activity, their background varies.

The video contains various activities with 10 activities of interest chosen as target activities: 'playing with a ball', 'waiting for a car to passed by', 'drinking water', 'feeding', 'turning dog's head to the left', 'turning dog's head to the right', 'petting', 'shaking dog's body by himself', 'sniffing', and 'walking'. The videos are in 320*240 image resolution, 48 frames per second.
