The PInSoRo Dataset

The PInSoRo Dataset consists in 75 recordings (45 child-child interactions; 30 child-robot interactions; up to 40 min per interactions) of annotated free play interactions.

Each recording includes the following datastreams:

Domain Type Details
child 1 audio 16kHz, mono, semi-directional
  face (RGB) qHD (960x540), 30Hz
  face (depth) VGA (640x480), 30Hz
  facial features 70 3D points, 30Hz
  skeleton 15 2D points, 30Hz
  hands 20 x 2 2D points, 30Hz
child 2 audio 16kHz, mono, semi-directional
  face (RGB) qHD (960x540), 30Hz
  face (depth) VGA (640x480), 30Hz
  facial features 70 3D points, 30Hz
  skeleton 15 2D points, 30Hz
  hands 20 x 2 2D points, 30Hz
environment RGB qHD (960x540), 29.7Hz
touchscreen background drawing (RGB) 4Hz
  touches 6 points multi-touch, 10Hz
  items position and orientation (x,y,theta), 10Hz
annotations timestamped annotations of social behaviours and remarkable events  
other static transforms between touchscreen and facial cameras  
  cameras calibration informations  

The facial features, 2D skeletons and hands are detected and tracked using the CMU OpenPose library.

Annotation of social interactions

Screenshot of the annotation tool

Using an annotation tool specifically developped for this purpose, we are currently annotating the entire dataset with high level social constructs.

Specifically, the following constructs are annotated:

Task Engagement
goal-oriented play
aimless play
adult seeking
no play
Social Engagement
solitary play
onlooker
parallel play
associative play
cooperative play
Social attitude
pro-social
adversarial
assertive
frustrated
passive

See Coding scheme for details.

Note that the video annotations are not completed yet: as of writing (05 Jan 2018), about 75% of the interactions have been annotated.

Acquisition Procedure
