Hand Washing Video Dataset Annotated According to the World Health Organization's Handwashing Guidelines - METC Subset

Overview: This is a lab-based dataset with videos recording volunteers (medical students) washing their hands as part of a hand-washing monitoring and feedback experiment. The dataset is collected in the Medical Education Technology Center (METC) of Riga Stradins University, Riga, Latvia. In total, 72 participants took part in the experiments, each washing their hands three times, in a randomized order, going through three different hand-washing feedback approaches (user interfaces of a mobile app). The data was annotated in real time by a human operator, in order to give the experiment participants real-time feedback on their performance. There are 212 hand washing episodes in total, each of which is annotated by a single person. The annotations classify the washing movements according to the World Health Organization's (WHO) guidelines by marking each frame in each video with a certain movement code. This dataset is part on three dataset series all following the same format: https://zenodo.org/record/4537209 - data collected in Pauls Stradins Clinical University Hospital https://zenodo.org/record/5808764 - data collected in Jurmala Hospital https://zenodo.org/record/5808789 - data collected in the Medical Education Technology Center (METC) of Riga Stradins University Note #1: we recommend that when using this dataset for machine learning, allowances are made for the reaction speed of the human operator labeling the data. For example, the annotations can be expected to be incorrect a short while after the person in the video switches their washing movements. Application: The intention of this dataset is to serve as a basis for training machine learning classifiers for automated hand washing movement recognition and quality control. Statistics: Frame rate: ~16 FPS (slightly variable, as the video are reconstructed from a sequence of jpg images taken with max framerate supported by the capturing devices). Resolution: 640x480 Number of videos: 212 Number of annotation files: 212 Movement codes (in JSON files): 1: Hand washing movement — Palm to palm 2: Hand washing movement — Palm over dorsum, fingers interlaced 3: Hand washing movement — Palm to palm, fingers interlaced 4: Hand washing movement — Backs of fingers to opposing palm, fingers interlocked 5: Hand washing movement — Rotational rubbing of the thumb 6: Hand washing movement — Fingertips to palm 0: Other hand washing movement Note #2: The original dataset of JPG images is available upon request. There are 13 annotation classes in the original dataset: for each of the six washing movements defined by the WHO, "correct" and "incorrect" execution is market with two different labels. In this published dataset, all incorrect executions are marked with code 0, as "other" washing movement.
