AVA Dataset

The AVA dataset densely annotates 80 atomic visual actions across 57.6k movie clips, providing spatio‑temporal localization of actions and yielding 210k action labels, with multiple person labels frequently appearing in each video clip. Key features include: 1. Definition of atomic visual actions to avoid collecting data for each complex action; 2. Precise spatio‑temporal annotations, potentially multiple annotations per person; 3. Use of diverse real video material (movies).
