What is Ego4D?
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
The videos cover activities at home, in the workplace, and hundreds of social controls.
What is in the data set?
Ego4D is a massive-scale egocentric video dataset and benchmark suite.
What can we do with it?
Commonly, computer vision models are trained and tested on annotated images and videos for a specific task.
Understanding first-person video will help design robots that better engage with their surroundings.
Future robotic agents will benefit from a better understanding of their environment.
Can AI make our lives better?
Facebook has also developed five benchmark challenges as part of the Ego4D project.
The challenges aim to build a better understanding of video materials to develop useful AI assistants.
The benchmarks focus on understanding first-person perception.
The benchmarks are described as follows:
What about privacy?
Obviously, there are significant privacy concerns.
The future?
Will Ego4D do the same for first-person video?
We may get an idea next year.
