What is HMDB51 Dataset?

The HMDB51 (Human Motion Database 51) dataset is created to enhance the research in computer vision research of recognition and search in the video. A lot of effort has been put into the collection and annotation of large scalable static images with large image categories, but a similar effort has not been done in video division. This dataset has been collected to push the efforts in the collection and annotation of video datasets. This dataset is a collection of various sources such as movies, and public databases (Prelinger archive, YouTube, and Google videos). This dataset contains a minimum of 101 clips for each 51 action categories and in total, the dataset contains 6849 clips.

How to use HMDB51 Dataset with PyTorch and TensorFlow in Python

Train a model on the HMDB51 dataset with PyTorch in Python

Let’s use Deep Lake built-in PyTorch one-line dataloader to connect the data to the compute:

				
					dataloader = ds.pytorch(num_workers=0, batch_size=4, shuffle=False)

Train a model on the HMDB51 dataset with TensorFlow in Python

				
					dataloader = ds.tensorflow()
