Annotation description

Annotations are stored in a matlab structure RELEASE having following fields

• .annolist(imgidx) - annotations for image imgidx

  • .image.name - image filename
  • .annorect(ridx) - body annotations for a person ridx
    • .x1, .y1, .x2, .y2 - coordinates of the head rectangle
    • .scale - person scale w.r.t. 200 px height
    • .objpos - rough human position in the image
    • .annopoints.point - person-centric body joint annotations
      • .x, .y - coordinates of a joint
      • id - joint id (0 - r ankle, 1 - r knee, 2 - r hip, 3 - l hip, 4 - l knee, 5 - l ankle, 6 - pelvis, 7 - thorax, 8 - upper neck, 9 - head top, 10 - r wrist, 11 - r elbow, 12 - r shoulder, 13 - l shoulder, 14 - l elbow, 15 - l wrist)
      • is_visible - joint visibility
  • .vidx - video index in video_list
  • .frame_sec - image position in video, in seconds

• img_train(imgidx) - training/testing image assignment

• single_person(imgidx) - contains rectangle id ridx of sufficiently separated individuals

• act(imgidx) - activity/category label for image imgidx

  • act_name - activity name
  • cat_name - category name
  • act_id - activity id

• video_list(videoidx) - specifies video id as is provided by YouTube. To watch video on youtube go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=video_list(videoidx)
