# EvHumanMotion

[Dataset on HuggingFace 🤗](https://huggingface.co/datasets/potentialming/EvHumanMotion)

**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](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.18552) 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/`
