Description
Sports Videos Dataset: Curated Collection for Generative AI and Action Analysis
Overview
This dataset features 1,119 short sports videos, each paired with detailed text descriptions in a video-text modality. Focused on diverse movements and actions across sports categories, it was curated through a structured process to ensure relevance and clarity.
Ideal applications include:
- Generative AI (GenAI) tasks: video-to-text generation, text-to-video synthesis, multimodal content creation.
- Action recognition, sports analytics, and related tasks in computer vision and NLP.
Dataset Details
Video Specifications
- Duration: ~30 seconds (optimized for efficient processing).
- Quality: Minimal background clutter, no cinematic filters, clear full-body movements.
- Camera Angle: Primarily front-facing to highlight form and actions.
Annotations
- Content: Text descriptions detailing actions, movements, and context for paired learning.
- Size: 1,119 videos collected from dedicated contributors.
- Format: Standard formats for ML pipeline integration.
Categories
Organized into non-overlapping categories for broad coverage:
- Field Sports – Dynamic team actions (e.g., football, cricket, hockey) in clean angles.
- Gym Workouts & Strength Training (Solo) – Solo exercises like weightlifting and yoga, emphasizing form.
- Indoor Court Games – Active play (e.g., badminton, volleyball) with continuous movement.
- Track & Field / Athletics – Events like running and jumping, capturing full motion.
