POLIMI-ITW-S: A large-scale dataset for human activity recognition in the wild

Abstract

Human activity recognition is attracting increasing research attention. Many activity recognition datasets have been created to support the development and evaluation of new algorithms. Given the lack of datasets collected in real environments (In The Wild) to support human activity recognition in public spaces, we introduce a large-scale video dataset for activity recognition In The Wild: POLIMI-ITW-S. The fully labeled dataset consists of 22,161 RGB video clips (about 46 h) including 37 activity classes performed by 50 K+ subjects in real shopping malls. We evaluated the state-of-the-art models on this dataset and get relatively low accuracy. We release the dataset including the annotations composed by person tracking bounding boxes, 2-D skeleton, and activity labels for research use at: https://airlab.deib.polimi.it/polimi-itw-s-a-shopping-mall-dataset-in-the-wild.
