Requirements

What does egg collection and candling data need?

01

A named three-step sequence

Collecting from the nests, checking against a light and packing are different steps, so a spec names each one and where it runs.

02

A stated farm setting

The catalog puts the row in Farm & Field Operations without naming the bird species or the type of farm, so the spec states which setting it covers.

03

Hands and eggs in view

A head-mounted view or a multiview rig keeps the hands, the eggs, the light and the packing container in frame while the work happens.

04

Step boundaries on the same clock

Frame-accurate action segments mark where collecting ends, where the check against the light starts and where packing begins.

05

Rights you can ship on

A perpetual, buyer-owned commercial license backed by a documented consent chain.

Why it matters

What is egocentric egg collection and candling data, and why does it need its own page?

Egocentric egg collection and candling data is real-world video of the physical hand work of gathering eggs and getting them ready to pack: collecting from the nests, checking each egg against a light for defects and packing the ones that go forward. It is recorded against a written spec, with the streams the site states for its custom collections.

The task has one catalog row, and until now it appeared only as a line in a longer list. The farm and field page lists it among the Farm & Field Operations rows, and the livestock page names it as an adjacent row that the catalog does not call livestock handling. This page treats the row as its own subject. It describes task video only, and it makes no food-safety, grading-accuracy, animal-welfare or certification claim.

Catalog row

Which catalog row covers egg collection and candling?

One row. "Egg Collection & Candling" sits in the Farm & Field Operations environment under the Agriculture & Grounds sector. The catalog describes it as: collect eggs from the nests, check them against a light for defects and pack them. It is rated Easy and listed as Ready to deploy, and its capture mode is a head-mounted phone or a multiview rig.

The catalog gives one line for the row. The steps inside that line, and what counts as a defect in your pipeline, are set by your spec.

Nearby rows

Which neighbouring rows are separate from egg collection?

Three nearby Farm & Field Operations rows are separate listings. "Feeding & Watering Rounds" and "Feed and water livestock using feed buckets and hoses" cover feed and water for animals. "Animal Pen Cleaning & Waste Removal" covers mucking out pens. "Crop Sorting & Grading" is a different row: sort harvested crops by size and quality, discard damaged items and grade into crates. It is a crop row, and the site does not describe it as egg work.

The site lists no row for egg washing, egg grading by weight, incubation or hatchery work, or processing eggs in a packing plant. Ask for any of them in the spec.

Streams

What does an egg collection episode record?

Firsthand custom collections record ten hardware-synchronized streams aligned under 2 ms, with RGB, depth, 3D hand pose with a per-joint visibility flag, contact and grasp events and frame-accurate action segments. The one language label the site states is a task instruction for each episode.

Standard capture is cameras, depth and IMU. A separate glove tier records a tactile signal, and the site does not state whether it applies to this row. The streams that carry force or tactile data are therefore settled in the spec.

Privacy

How are people and faces handled?

This page does not describe capturing farm owners, staff or visitors beyond the contributor doing the task. Every collection runs on a documented consent chain. Faces are irreversibly blurred at ingest, a reviewer confirms the result, and footage with bystanders who cannot be de-identified is discarded.

Fast · on demand

How fast can a custom egg collection dataset be collected?

Where coverage is already deep, the first validated batch lands in a median of 48 hours from signed spec. Thin environments typically take three to four weeks, because vetting operators there is the bottleneck, and we quote that up front. The site does not state which of the two applies to this row.

You describe the sequence, the setting and the birds or props your policy needs to see, and we turn that into a written spec covering tasks, environments, capture tier, annotation depth and accept criteria. A Spec Pilot, a small and fast first batch, can prove the spec before you scale. Billing is per validated hour, a reject log ships with every batch, and rejected items are recaptured at our cost.

At a glance

What you get.

Every collection runs through the same seven-stage end-to-end custom collection pipeline. End-to-end custom data collection is a managed service that takes an AI data need from problem to owned dataset in a single accountable pipeline.

Catalog row

Which catalog rows name egg collection, and which are nearby?

The egg row as listed in the task catalog, with the environment, description, skill rating and status. The row lists a head-mounted phone or a multiview rig as capture mode. The three rows beneath it are shown only to mark where the egg row ends.

Streams and tasks

How do the stated streams map to egg collection tasks?

The streams the site states for Firsthand custom collections, set against what each carries in an egg collection episode. Row-by-row stream coverage for each capture mode is confirmed in the spec.

FAQ

Egg collection robot training data, answered.

What is egocentric egg collection and candling data?
Video of the hand work of collecting eggs from the nests, checking them against a light for defects and packing them, captured with a head-mounted phone or multiview rig against a written spec.
Which catalog row does the site state for this?
One. "Egg Collection & Candling" in Farm & Field Operations, rated Easy and Ready to deploy. It lists a head-mounted phone or a multiview rig as capture mode.
Does the data make any food-safety or grading claim?
No. The row describes checking eggs against a light for defects as part of the task, and this page quotes it as written. It makes no claim about food safety, grading accuracy, animal welfare or certification.
Are birds in the footage?
The site does not say. The catalog gives one line for the row and does not name the species or say whether birds are present while the work is recorded, so this page does not claim it. State what applies in the spec.
How are people and faces handled?
Every collection runs on a documented consent chain. Faces are irreversibly blurred at ingest, a reviewer confirms the result, and footage with bystanders who cannot be de-identified is discarded.
How fast can a custom dataset be collected?
From a signed spec to a first validated batch, a median of 48 hours where coverage is deep and three to four weeks where it is thin. The site does not say which applies to this row, so ask when you request the quote.
