A named cleaning sequence
Removing bedding, clearing waste, hosing and laying fresh bedding are different steps, so a spec names each one and the setting it runs in.
Task family
Requirements
Removing bedding, clearing waste, hosing and laying fresh bedding are different steps, so a spec names each one and the setting it runs in.
The catalog puts kennel cleaning in a veterinary clinic and pen cleaning on a farm, so the spec says which setting, or both, it covers.
A head-mounted view or a multiview rig keeps the hose, the fork, the shovel, the barrow and the hands in frame while the work happens.
Frame-accurate action segments mark where waste is removed, where hosing ends and where fresh bedding is laid.
A perpetual, buyer-owned commercial license backed by a documented consent chain.
Why it matters
Egocentric kennel and animal pen cleaning data is real-world video of the physical hand work of cleaning where animals are kept: taking out bedding and waste, hosing a kennel, mucking out a pen and laying fresh bedding. It is recorded against a written spec, with the streams the site states for its custom collections.
The two tasks sit in different catalog environments, so no single page covered both. The veterinary clinic page lists the kennel row among five clinic rows, and the livestock page lists the pen row among three animal rows. This page puts the two cleaning rows side by side. It describes task video only, and it makes no animal-welfare, biosecurity, disinfection-result or certification claim.
Catalog rows
Two rows. "Kennel cleaning" sits in the Veterinary Clinic environment under the Pet & Animal Care sector. The catalog describes it as: remove bedding and waste, hose and disinfect the kennel and lay fresh bedding. It is rated Easy and listed as Available on request.
"Animal Pen Cleaning & Waste Removal" sits in the Farm & Field Operations environment under the Agriculture & Grounds sector. The catalog describes it as: muck out pens with fork and shovel, remove waste in barrows and lay fresh bedding. It is rated Easy and listed as Ready to deploy.
Both rows list a head-mounted phone or a multiview rig as the capture mode. The catalog gives one line for each row, and the steps inside that line are set by your spec.
The difference
The kennel row names a hose and a disinfecting step and sits in a clinic. The pen row names a fork, a shovel and a barrow and sits on a farm. The catalog does not say what animal kind, housing type or number of animals either row involves, and it does not say whether animals are present while the work is recorded.
Two neighbouring Farm & Field Operations rows are separate listings and are not cleaning sub-tasks: "Feed and water livestock using feed buckets and hoses" and "Feeding & Watering Rounds". The site lists no row for cleaning a litter box, washing a pet or cleaning a stable, aviary or aquarium. Ask for any of them in the spec.
Streams
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 these rows. The streams that carry force or tactile data are therefore settled in the spec.
Privacy
This page does not describe capturing animal owners, clinic clients or farm staff 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
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 sequence, setting and animal subject 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.
