First-person (egocentric) videos are captured using a camera on a person and reflects the first person view perspective. In these videos, the observer itself is involved in the events and the camera undergoes large amounts of ego-motion. In typical third-person perspective videos, the camera is usually stationary and it is away from the actors involved in the events. These different characteristics of first-person videos makes it difficult to use the existing approaches directly and necessitate different approaches to the problem. In addition to the video data, use of additional modalities has the potential to contribute positively by bringing complementary information. An important modality is audio as it is readily accessible and allows detecting different activities and interactions. On the other hand, fusion of different modalities also brings new challenges. In this talk, I will be talking about the current state-of-the-art and particular challenges regarding the analysis of multimodal first-person data.
