EvHumanMotion

Dataset on HuggingFace 🤗

EvHumanMotion is a real-world dataset captured using the DAVIS346 event camera, focusing on human motion under diverse and challenging scenarios. It is designed to support event-driven human animation research, especially under motion blur, low-light, and overexposure conditions. This dataset was introduced in the EvAnimate paper.

Dataset Structure

The dataset is organized into two main parts:

• EvHumanMotion_aedat4: Raw event streams in .aedat4 format.
• EvHumanMotion_frame: Frame-level event slices and RGB frames.

Each is categorized into:

• indoor_day/
• indoor_night_high_noise/
• indoor_night_low_noise/
• outdoor_day/
• outdoor_night/

Each environment contains four scenarios:

• low_light/
• motion_blur/
• normal/
• over_exposure/
