Named steps
Laying out a line, moving it, connecting fittings, opening a valve, cutting pipe and replacing a broken section are different steps, so a spec names each one and the order they run in.
Task family
Requirements
Laying out a line, moving it, connecting fittings, opening a valve, cutting pipe and replacing a broken section are different steps, so a spec names each one and the order they run in.
The catalog rows say irrigation lines, drip or sprinkler lines, PVC pipe, fittings, connectors, valves and a pipe cutter, and no more, so the spec says which ones your policy needs.
A head-mounted view or a multiview rig keeps the hands, the pipe cutter and the fitting in frame through the whole sequence.
Frame-accurate action segments mark where a cut ends, where a connector goes on and where a repair is finished against the accept criteria in the spec.
A perpetual, buyer-owned commercial license backed by a documented consent chain.
Why it matters
Egocentric irrigation setup and repair data is real-world video of the physical work of putting water lines in place and fixing them. A worker moves and connects irrigation lines, opens valves, lays out drip or sprinkler lines, cuts PVC pipe to length, fits connectors and replaces broken sections. It is recorded against a written spec, with the streams the site states for its custom collections.
The farm and field task page lists these three rows inside a table of sixteen. The plumbing and pipe fitting page lists two of them as neighbouring rows. This page centres all three. It describes task video only, and it makes no water-saving, yield, flow-rate or certification claim.
Catalog rows
Three, all in the Farm & Field Operations environment under the Agriculture & Grounds sector. "Irrigation" is described as moving and connecting irrigation lines, opening valves and checking water reaches each row. It is rated Easy and listed as Active collection. "Irrigation Setup & Repair" is described as laying out drip or sprinkler lines, connecting fittings and repairing leaks and breaks. It is rated Medium and listed as Ready to deploy.
"Assemble and repair irrigation lines using PVC fittings and a pipe cutter" is described as cutting PVC pipe to length, fitting connectors and replacing broken sections in the irrigation line. It is rated Medium and listed as Active collection. Every row lists a head-mounted phone or a multiview rig as the capture mode, and the steps inside each line are set by your spec. The words "check water reaches each row" are quoted from the catalog; the site states no measured result behind them.
The difference
The Farm & Field Operations environment has 21 rows, and three of them are irrigation rows. The others, such as harvesting, planting, livestock care and equipment operation, are separate listings. The plumbing and pipe fitting page covers pipe work in building trades. The landscaping and groundskeeping page covers mowing, trimming and clearing grounds.
For the broad farm picture, see the farm and field task page. For pipe work in buildings, see the plumbing page. For grounds work, see the landscaping page.
Streams
Firsthand custom collections record ten hardware-synchronized streams aligned under 2 ms, with head and wrist 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 these rows. The site lists no label for the outcome of a step, such as whether a line stopped leaking. Pipe sizes, fitting types, valve types and whether force or tactile data are needed are settled in the spec.
Privacy
Every episode links to a signed contributor release through a documented consent chain, and the consent record is part of the delivery. Faces, plates and screens are detected and irreversibly blurred at ingest, and a reviewer confirms the result before anything ships. Footage with bystanders who cannot be de-identified is discarded.
That is the whole of the privacy wording the site states. It does not state a rule for specific farms or growers, and the site states that Firsthand does not capture at a customer facility. Which site a program uses is agreed in the spec.
Fast · on demand
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 these rows.
You describe the lines, fittings, tools and repair sequence your policy needs, 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
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.
