XP Robotics Multi-Camera + IMU Wearable Recording

A multimodal multi-camera egocentric recording released by XP Robotics, captured on an XP Robotics head/chest/wrist wearable rig. It provides several synchronized first-person camera views together with high-rate inertial and thermal signals from a single continuous session.

Overview

  • 1 continuous session, ~1.49 hours (5,372 s), ~5.14M messages
  • 5 synchronized cameras (H.264), including a stereo head pair
  • 4 IMUs (head, chest, both wrists) at high rate
  • 1 thermal sensor
  • Stored as MCAP with Foxglove/protobuf message schemas

Recording schema

Topic Schema Description
/head_left/video foxglove.CompressedVideo Head camera, left (stereo pair)
/head_right/video foxglove.CompressedVideo Head camera, right (stereo pair)
/chest/video foxglove.CompressedVideo Chest camera
/wrist_ch0/video foxglove.CompressedVideo Wrist camera
/wrist_ch3/video foxglove.CompressedVideo Wrist camera
/head/imu xphi.Imu Head inertial measurement
/chest/imu xphi.Imu Chest inertial measurement
/wrist_ch0/imu xphi.Imu Wrist inertial measurement
/wrist_ch3/imu xphi.Imu Wrist inertial measurement
/board/thermal xphi.ThermalSample Thermal sensor samples

Per-camera metadata records (camera/<view>) carry neutral technical fields: camera id, mount position, stereo flag, codec, resolution, and frame rate. A session record carries the spec version, session id, reference camera, and start time; a stop record carries the session end.

Technical details

  • Video: H.264, 1920x1200, ~30 fps, per camera.
  • Cameras: 5 views — a stereo head pair (head_left, head_right), one chest, and two wrist cameras.
  • Motion: 4 IMUs (orientation, angular velocity, acceleration) at high rate (~200 Hz).
  • Thermal: on-board thermal sensor samples (~1 Hz).

Files

xphi-multicam-imu-dataset/
  metadata.csv
  xphi_multicam_imu_001.mcap

The recording is named uniformly xphi_multicam_imu_<NNN>.mcap. metadata.csv lists the file with its camera set, IMU/thermal presence, duration, size, video format, and message count.

Reading the data

Video, IMU, and thermal streams use protobuf message encoding. Decode them with the mcap and mcap-protobuf-support packages:

from mcap.reader import make_reader
from mcap_protobuf.decoder import DecoderFactory

with open("xphi_multicam_imu_001.mcap", "rb") as f:
    reader = make_reader(f, decoder_factories=[DecoderFactory()])
    for schema, channel, message, proto in reader.iter_decoded_messages(
        topics=["/chest/video", "/head/imu"]
    ):
        print(channel.topic, message.log_time, type(proto).__name__)
pip install mcap mcap-protobuf-support

The file can also be opened directly in Foxglove for visual inspection.
