Video Data Collection Services for AI Training

Image

We capture, annotate, and deliver video datasets engineered for the demands of computer vision, action recognition, and multimodal AI. From single-camera action sequences to multi-sensor synchronized footage — indoors, outdoors, or in controlled studio conditions — we produce video training data that is temporally precise, richly annotated, and ready for your pipeline.

Video Data Collection Methods

Controlled studio recording

Multi-camera studio setups capture actions, expressions, and interactions under precise lighting and background conditions, with synchronized depth and RGB streams.

In-the-wild field collection

Camera rigs deployed in real-world locations capture authentic behavior across uncontrolled conditions — variable lighting, weather, crowds, and clutter.

Crowdsourced video capture

Contributors submit task-guided video recordings via mobile app, enabling fast, large-scale collection of common actions and scenarios across global geographies.

Dashcam & vehicle-mounted capture

Dedicated vehicle fleets collect driving footage across road types, geographies, and conditions with GPS, IMU, and LiDAR synchronization.

Synthetic video generation

Game engines and simulation platforms generate photorealistic video with automatic bounding boxes, segmentation masks, depth maps, and optical flow ground truth.

Project Steps

01 Discovery & requirements scoping
We define scenario coverage, camera setup, frame rate, resolution, annotation type (bounding box, segmentation, keypoint, track), demographic requirements, and volume targets.
02 Scene & collection design
Our team designs the capture environment, recruits participants or deploys camera infrastructure, and produces detailed scenario scripts and annotation guidelines.
03 Pilot capture & annotation review
A pilot batch is filmed, annotated, and reviewed against your quality benchmarks. Annotation label accuracy, temporal consistency, and coverage gaps are assessed before scaling.
04 Full-scale collection & annotation
Production recording runs across all planned scenarios and locations. Frame-level and track-level annotation runs in parallel with automated pre-labeling to accelerate throughput.
05 Quality assurance
Automated checks (frame drop detection, resolution validation, label consistency) combined with human expert review ensure spatial and temporal annotation accuracy across all deliverables.
06 Delivery & iteration
Final datasets are delivered in your target format via secure cloud transfer. We support ongoing collection for new scenarios, model-identified edge cases, and incremental dataset expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide video data validation and verification?
Yes. Validation criteria are derived from the technical specification and can cover completeness, file integrity, video format and metadata, technical quality, annotation consistency, and scenario compliance across the collected footage. Checks run during the collection process and again before delivery, with acceptance thresholds and rework rules agreed in advance.
ow do you manage consent, privacy, and data usage rights?
Before launch, we define the lawful basis or source permission, participant notices and consent where required, permitted uses, retention period, and transfer conditions for video clips featuring identifiable people. Personal data, including anything tied to facial recognition or face recognition use cases, is minimized and can be pseudonymized or anonymized where appropriate, with exact controls depending on jurisdiction and the client’s intended use.
What data and metadata formats are supported for delivery?
We support standard and project-specific video formats needed for deep learning pipelines. Before production, we agree on the file type or codec, folder structure, naming convention, identifiers, timestamps, metadata schema, and delivery method so annotated datasets integrate into the client's ML models.
Can video be collected in multiple languages and regions?
Yes. We support multi-region video collection, subject to participant availability and local legal and operational constraints. The specification can define geography, demographic quotas, environment conditions, and reviewer qualifications, with domain-qualified reviewers involved where language elements such as video transcription are required.
How do you ensure video data quality during collection?
Quality is controlled at three stages: before launch, during collection, and before delivery. We validate the specification and pilot, monitor recording parameters during the collection process, and run automated checks alongside human review against agreed thresholds for detecting objects, tracking human movements, and identifying objects accurately.
