KTH Actions dataset

What is KTH Actions Dataset?

The KTH Actions dataset contains six actions (walk, jog, run, box, hand-wave, and hand-clap). It is one of the most standard datasets. Each action in the dataset is performed by 25 different individuals, and the setting is systematically altered for each action per actor. Setting variations include outdoor, outdoor with scale variation, outdoor with different clothes, and indoor (s4). These variations test the ability of algorithms to identify actions independent of the background, the appearance of the actors, and the scale of the actors.

Download KTH Actions Dataset in Python

Instead of downloading the KTH Actions dataset in Python, you can effortlessly load it in Python via our Deep Lake open-source with just one line of code.

How to use KTH Actions Dataset with PyTorch and TensorFlow in Python

Train a model on KTH Actions 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 KTH Actions dataset with TensorFlow in Python

				
					dataloader = ds.tensorflow()

KTH Actions Dataset FAQs

What is the KTH Actions dataset for Python?

The KTH dataset is one of the most standard datasets, which contains six activities: walk, run, run, box, hand-wave, and hand applaud. To represent execution subtlety, each activity is performed by 25 distinct people, and the setting is deliberately adjusted for each activity per entertainer. Setting varieties in the dataset include open-air, outside with scale variety, open-air with various garments, and indoor.

How can I use KTH Actions dataset in PyTorch or TensorFlow?

You can stream the KTH Actions dataset while training a model in PyTorch or TensorFlow with one line of code using the open-source package Activeloop Deep Lake in Python. See detailed instructions on how to train a model on KTH Actions dataset with PyTorch in Python or train a model on KTH Actions dataset with TensorFlow in Python.
