How to get the dataset

For legal and ethical reasons, the dataset is only available to academics.

The dataset exists in two flavours:

• the anonymised version, with no video streams, that can be freely downloaded from the Zenodo platform (7.2GB compressed). Once downloaded, unzip it somewhere and follow these instructions to update the dataset with the latest meta-data.

• the full dataset, including raw video streams. [update 2024] unfortunately, due to a change in the Plymouth ethical committee policy, we can no longer distribute the full dataset.

Besides, the meta-data of the dataset (demographics, details of the recordings), as well as the video annotations, are stored and maintained as a public GIT repository.

Once you have obtained the dataset and updated it, check how to get started with it.
