The Georgia Tech Egocentric Activities (GTEA) dataset contains seven types of daily activities such as making sandwich, tea, or coffee. Each activity is performed by four different people, thus totally 28 videos. For each video, there are about 20 fine-grained action instances such as take bread, pour ketchup, in approximately one minute.

Spatio-temporal action detection is an important and challenging problem in video understanding. The existing action detection benchmarks are limited in aspects of small numbers of instances in a trimmed video or low-level atomic actions. This paper aims to present a new multi-person dataset of spatio-temporal localized sports actions, coined as MultiSports. We first analyze the important ingredients of constructing a realistic and challenging dataset for spatio-temporal action detection by proposing three criteria: (1) multi-person scenes and motion dependent identification, (2) with well-defined boundaries, (3) relatively fine-grained classes of high complexity. Based on these guidelines, we build the dataset of MultiSports v1.0 by selecting 4 sports classes, collecting 3200 video clips, and annotating 37701 action instances with 902k bounding boxes. Our dataset is characterized with important properties of high diversity, dense annotation, and high quality. Our MultiSports, with its
