What is phone mono egocentric video?
It is first-person video from a single smartphone camera worn at eye or forehead level and angled down, so the wearer’s hands and the objects they handle stay in frame. Mono means one lens: there is no stereo pair and no depth stream. What you get is broad, real-world coverage of how people actually do tasks.
Which labs is off-the-shelf phone mono data for?
It suits labs that want to train quickly: pretraining, representation learning, video-to-action experiments and early prototypes that need hours now rather than after a new collection. Because the footage already exists, you review samples, agree a quote and start loading data.
If your model needs depth, IMU or calibrated stereo, the library also holds stereo and multi-view datasets, and custom collection runs the same hardware to your spec.
What categories does the phone mono collection cover?
The library covers a variety of categories. The previews above show cleaning, kitchen work, salon and personal-care tasks, pet grooming and baking prep, in residential and commercial settings. The library datasets add household chores (cleaning, organizing, laundry, groceries) and industrial and trade settings (auto repair, carpentry, construction, factory).
Exact category mix and hours for your order are confirmed by a rep when you request samples.
How are the sample clips quality-checked?
Every clip in the preview set went through a nine-point review before it was listed: phone at eye or forehead level, hands fully visible, camera angled down, good lighting, a complete task of 120 seconds or more, a genuine task rather than a staged one, not chest mounted, an approved country and an approved device model. Every clip above passed all nine.
The review applies to the preview set. How the same checks apply to the full catalogue is confirmed per order.
