The MECCANO Dataset: Understanding Human-Object Interactions from Egocentric Videos in an Industrial-like Domain

Understand

Wearable cameras allow to collect images and videos of humans interacting with the world.

• While human-object interactions have been thoroughly investigated in third person vision, the problem has been understudied in egocentric settings and in industrial scenarios.
• To fill this gap, we introduce MECCANO, the first dataset of egocentric videos to study human-object interactions in industrial-like settings.
• MECCANO has been acquired by 20 participants who were asked to build a motorbike model, for which they had to interact with tiny objects and tools.
