Fiund / How it works
A clear brief. A defined review. A useful handoff.
An egocentric dataset records an activity from the participant’s point of view. A useful sourcing brief goes beyond hours of footage: it defines the task, camera position, visible interactions, and conditions the model must learn to handle. Data Egocentric is a Fiund sourcing site for teams exploring this category.
Project workflow
Six stages to discuss with Fiund.
Define the target
An egocentric dataset records an activity from the participant’s point of view. A useful sourcing brief goes beyond hours of footage: it defines the task, camera position, visible interactions, and conditions the model must learn to handle. Data Egocentric is a Fiund sourcing site for teams exploring this category.
Write the specification
Tasks and environments; Camera placement and visibility; Target hours or sequences; Annotations and intended model use; Rights requirements and timeline. These details establish the project’s review criteria and reveal where further clarification is needed.
Review sourcing fit
Discuss which existing sources or collection approaches could address the brief. Identify access constraints, source documentation, and unanswered permission questions before treating a category as usable inventory.
Inspect representative material
Where appropriate material can be shared, agree on handling and inspect it against the specification. Record defects, coverage gaps, and annotation questions against exact source identifiers.
Agree the project scope
Confirm the selected material, intended uses, preparation work, acceptance criteria, commercial terms, and delivery arrangements in a project-specific agreement.
Review the handoff
Check file references, manifests, documented processing, and accepted exceptions. Keep permission review and technical acceptance explicit, and resolve open issues before the collection is treated as approved for the intended use.
Category decisions
Build the right starting brief.
Viewpoint
Head-mounted, chest-mounted, or another participant-centered view; describe acceptable camera movement.
Task coverage
Action list, sequence length, successful and unsuccessful attempts, and variation between participants.
Capture details
Resolution, frame rate, field of view, audio policy, and any requirements for time alignment.
Annotation
Action boundaries, object references, task descriptions, and the level of detail needed for evaluation.
Common questions
Before you source.
Is egocentric video the same as robot demonstration data?
No. A participant’s camera can show a human performing a task without recording robot actions or control signals. Tell us if you need synchronized robot state, action data, or other sensors; video alone should not be treated as a substitute.
Can I request a particular workplace or activity?
Yes, include it in your inquiry. Fiund will review sourcing feasibility, access, participant permissions, and capture constraints before discussing a suitable collection.
Is a dataset ready to download here?
This site is a sourcing inquiry point. Availability, samples, permitted uses, and delivery details are established for the specific project, rather than promised by the category page.
