Stereo Veterinary Clinic Data

It is first-person video of a person doing clinic work, recorded with two calibrated cameras, with hand pose and sensor streams alongside. People reach it through several phrasings: veterinary robot training data, stereo exam room prep video, egocentric surgical instrument setup and kennel cleaning dataset, or custom animal care data collection at scale. They describe one request from different angles. Stereo describes the capture, and MCAP describes the container. They are separate choices.

The site does not state that stereo is already running on these rows. The catalog lists a head-mounted phone or a multiview rig as the capture setup, so a stereo pair is a capture choice agreed in the skill spec and confirmed on a Spec Pilot. The data is human capture by paid, consented contributors, not robot or teleoperation data, so using it for a specific robot still needs your own retargeting step. It is task data, not footage of clients, and nothing on this page is clinical or medical advice. Firsthand is not affiliated with Foxglove or the MCAP maintainers.

Five, listed in lib/commercial-catalog-data.ts under the Veterinary Clinic environment in the Pet & Animal Care sector, whose examples line names animal handling, examination room prep, surgical instrument setup, kennel cleaning and post-procedure care. "Examination room prep" is described as wiping the table, laying out instruments and supplies and setting up the room for the next patient. "Surgical instrument setup" is described as opening sterile packs and laying out surgical instruments on the tray in order. "Kennel cleaning" is described as removing bedding and waste, hosing and disinfecting the kennel and laying fresh bedding. "Animal handling" is described as lifting, holding and restraining animals safely on the table during examination. "Post-procedure care" is described as monitoring a recovering animal, changing dressings, giving fluids and cleaning the wound area.

Examination room prep and Kennel cleaning are rated Easy, and the other three are rated Medium. All five rows are listed as Available on request. The site defines Available on request as work that a spec starts, rather than a running capture stream a spec can join. That is a statement about the catalog row, not a promise of a delivery date. The site states no delivered hours and no delivered stereo footage for any of the five rows, so this page claims none. The first table below reproduces the five rows as the catalog states them.

This page is the stereo and MCAP treatment of the five Veterinary Clinic rows. The egocentric veterinary clinic page covers the same five rows as first-person video, with RLDS, LeRobot or WebDataset delivery named in its short answer, and stereo is not its subject. It remains the page for the first-person framing and the row-by-row detail.

The kennel and animal pen cleaning page covers two rows: Kennel cleaning in the Veterinary Clinic environment and Animal Pen Cleaning & Waste Removal in Farm & Field Operations, which the catalog lists as Ready to deploy. The stereo pet grooming page covers two Pet Grooming Salon rows that the catalog lists as Active collection, with washing tubs, grooming tables and drying stations. This page is stereo capture of clinic work at an examination table, a tray and a kennel. The second table below sets the pages side by side with each status as the site lists it.

The catalog lists "Phone (head-mounted) / multiview rig" for all five rows. The site does not state a stereo pair for any of them. Stereo applies through the site’s general stereo offer: a stereo pair is a capture choice agreed in the skill spec and confirmed on a Spec Pilot. The catalog does not say which of its two modes applies to each row, and the site does not state capture at a customer’s own clinic, so the setting is agreed in the spec.

The site describes two stereo setups and does not say which one an order for these rows uses. The hard-environments stack is a global-shutter 4K/60 head camera with a 120° lens, two 1080p/60 wrist cameras, a depth sensor at 848×480 and 30 fps, and 200 Hz 6-DoF IMUs. The off-the-shelf stereo head rig, dataset 06, is dual fisheye cameras at 1080p per eye, a 62 mm baseline, per-unit calibration, a 9-axis IMU and hand-tracking output. Camera count, resolution and frame rate for the clinic rows are Not stated.

Room prep and tray setup are reset work: the same table, the same tray and a set of small objects that end up in an order. The catalog itself names "sterile packs", "surgical instruments" and "the tray in order", and two hands usually work at once, one holding a pack open while the other places an instrument. A stereo pair recovers depth from the calibrated frame pair rather than from a standalone depth sensor, so the geometry of the tray and the hands sits in the same capture that shows the fingers working.

The site does not state instrument sizes, counts, tray layouts or the order of instruments, so this page makes no claim about them. A stereo pair adds depth, not a verdict on whether a tray is set correctly. The site lists no sterility standard, instrument list or quality label for these rows, and none is claimed. The egocentric veterinary page already supplies the first-person framing; stereo is the addition for a buyer who wants the depth and the MCAP file.

Each row gives a natural cut. Examination room prep wipes the table, lays out instruments and supplies and sets up the room. Surgical instrument setup opens the packs and then lays out the instruments in order. Kennel cleaning runs in the catalog’s order: remove bedding and waste, hose, disinfect and lay fresh bedding. Animal handling lifts, holds and restrains. Post-procedure care monitors, changes dressings, gives fluids and cleans the wound area.

A spec that says "set up the room" gives one long action segment. A spec that names wiping, laying out supplies and laying out instruments gives a sequence you can slice by step. Whether each of those is its own segment, and whether a room turnover, one step or a whole session is one episode, is a spec decision, not a default. The site does not set an episode length or a step count. Contact events can mark when a finger or an instrument meets the table, a pack or the tray, where the spec asks for them.

At an exam table the hands sit between the camera and the work, and a small instrument can vanish behind a finger or a pack. The site states that the hands occlude the work and that fingers disappear behind objects. That is why each hand joint carries a visibility flag, why contact events mark when the hand or an instrument meets a surface, and why instance masks are recorded per frame.

The rows animal handling and post-procedure care add an animal on the table. The site states no species, weights or motion rates, and does not say whether a live animal, a model or a prop is used, so how often an animal or a dressing leaves the view is Not stated. It also states that reach and grasp frames are where blur and occlusion show up, and the head camera in the hard-environments stack is global-shutter, which avoids rolling-shutter skew. If your policy depends on seeing a small instrument set down, say so in the spec, ask for wrist views or a multiview angle, and settle it on a Spec Pilot.

Animal species, breeds, weights, handling methods, dressing types, fluids, drugs, dosages and procedures are Not stated. So are instrument lists, tray layouts, sterility standards, disinfectant names, contact times, kennel sizes and what a correct or clean result means. Clinical outcomes, cycle times and error rates are Not stated either. They are set in the written spec, and this page claims none of them.

The words "sterile", "surgical" and "disinfect" are catalog wording; the site makes no hygiene, certification, clinical, diagnostic, treatment or animal-welfare claim. A lighting setup for the clinic rows is Not stated. Where a program needs a specific layout, lighting or background, that goes into the spec and is checked on a Spec Pilot. An episode is rejected when more than 35 percent of depth pixels in the manipulation region are invalid, and for this job the spec decides what the manipulation region is at each step.

Animal welfare, animal-owner consent and clinical safety are Not stated on the site, so this page describes none of them and gives no clinical or medical advice. The site does not say whether the animals in these rows are live, models or props, and this page does not claim live-animal capture. How any client or owner in frame is handled is settled in the spec.

For every delivered episode the site states that faces, plates and screens are detected and irreversibly blurred at ingest, that a reviewer confirms the result before anything ships, and that footage that cannot be de-identified is discarded. The anonymization record ships with the data, an undocumented bystander is a stated reject criterion, and every episode links to a signed contributor release through a documented consent chain. This is not legal advice, and the executed agreement controls.

MCAP is an open source container file format for multimodal log data, supporting multiple channels of timestamped pre-serialized data. It is serialization-agnostic, so messages can be Protobuf, DDS (CDR), ROS, JSON and more. Its design is row-oriented and append-only, it stores schemas alongside the data, and it offers an optional index plus optional LZ4 or Zstandard chunk compression.

Reader and writer libraries exist for C++, Go, Python, Rust, Swift and TypeScript, and the mcap CLI can inspect, merge and split files. The foxglove/mcap repository is MIT-licensed; that is the MCAP project licence, not the licence of a Firsthand delivery. The MCAP hub page and the glossary entry cover the format in full.

Firsthand offers MCAP delivery, and dataset 06 is stated as shipping as MCAP. For these rows the site states hand pose, a stereo-derived depth stream with confidence maps, IMU, contact events, action segments, per-frame instance masks and one task instruction per episode elsewhere. What it does not state is which of those are channels in an MCAP file, how they are named, what encoding they use or at what rate.

No topic name, message schema or rate is stated on this page, and none should be assumed. Name the streams that matter in the skill spec and confirm them on a Spec Pilot batch. The fourth table below sets each stream beside what the site states about it.

Hand occlusion by instruments, packs and the animal is the first risk, under the visibility flag above. Two-handed fine motion with small instruments is the second, and how often it leaves the frame is Not stated. Calibration is measured at the start and end of every session under a 0.28 px RMS gate, and an episode is rejected for a sync breach beyond the ceiling for more than three consecutive frames, for the manipulated object out of frame for more than 15 percent of the episode, for an undocumented bystander or for a mismatch against the named skill spec.

A reject log ships with every batch, and rejected items are recaptured at the provider’s cost. The fifth table below lists the failure modes beside what the site states.

The October 2026 off-the-shelf catalog lists ~324,800 hours across 18 datasets, of which stereo is ~64,800 hours across 9 datasets. The site names no veterinary clinic dataset among them, so this work is custom collection, not an off-the-shelf purchase. The off-the-shelf stereo and hand-tracking video can still show the format before you write a spec.

It is custom collection at scale through a network of thousands of capture providers, for a consistent, recurring data flow to labs. Where coverage is deep, the median time from signed spec to first validated batch is a median of 48 hours; where it is thin, turnaround runs three to four weeks. The site does not say which applies to the veterinary clinic rows, so the timeline is quoted against your spec. Collections are billed per validated hour, and rejected episodes and recaptures are never billed.

Describe the tasks and where each starts and ends: wiping and laying out a room, opening packs and laying out instruments in order, removing bedding and hosing and re-bedding a kennel, holding an animal on the table, and changing dressings. Say whether an episode covers one turnover, one step or a whole session, what counts as the object and what counts as a finished step, whether the animal is live, a model or a prop, the privacy rule for the clinic, and name the variation your pipeline is missing. Then name the streams you want in the file, the topic naming and message encoding your reader expects, whether calibration ships inside the file or beside it, and whether MCAP is the only delivery or sits beside RLDS, LeRobot or WebDataset.

Most programs begin with a Spec Pilot, a small first batch that proves the spec and accept criteria on real footage before you scale. The sixth table below shows what each spec element decides.
