The Egocentric 4D Live Perception (Ego4D) is a massive-scale dataset that compiles 3025 hours of footage from the wearable cameras of 855 participants in nine countries: UK, India, Japan, Singapore, KSA, Colombia, Rwanda, Italy and the US. The ambitious project was inspired by the University of Bristol’s successful EPIC-KITCHENS dataset, which recorded the daily kitchen activities of participants in their homes and has been, until now, the largest dataset in egocentric computer vision.  

Ego4D captures a wider range of activities (such as practicing a musical instrument, gardening, grooming a pet or assembling furniture), all from the egocentric perspective: the viewpoint of the person carrying out the activity.

The Ego4D Team at Bristol included: Michael Wray, Will Price, Jonathan Munro, Adriano Fragomeni and is led by Dima Damen.
