EPIC Fields Dataset

We introduce EPIC Fields, an augmentation of EPIC-KITCHENS with 3D camera information. Similar to other datasets for neural rendering, EPIC Fields removes the complex and expensive step of reconstructing cameras using photogrammetry, and allows researchers to focus on more interesting modeling problems. We illustrate the challenge of photogrammetry in egocentric videos and propose several technical innovations to address them.

Compared to other datasets for neural rendering, EPIC Fields is much better tailored to video understanding because it combines nicely with the recently-released VISOR annotations. Furthermore, it covers the complex and yet increasingly important case of egocentric video understanding. It also offers new challenges for the neural rendering community, such as modeling long videos with complex dynamic changes. To further jump start the interest of the community in this area, we also define neural rendering and motion segmentation benchmarks and provide several strong baselines for each, characterizing what is and is not possible today.

Recovered Camera Poses

19M frames in 99 hours of 671 videos, recorded in 45 kitchens.

Dynamic View Synthesis

Dynamic Object Segmentation

Video Object Segmentation

When combined with EPIC-KITCHENS annotations, Actions can now be grounded in 3D

Download Data

Downloading point clouds and camera poses

The dataset is now publicly available for download from here (7.5G).

Raw data in COLMAP format:
  • The dense registered frames in raw COLMAP format can be found at: here (133G).
  • The sparse frames including raw COLMAP database can be found at: here (91.6G).

Code

We provides the demo code for visualising the data, and the reconstruction pipeline: We make the following benchmark codes public, which replicate the EPIC Fields paper's baseline.
