KTH (KTH Action dataset)

Introduced in Recognizing Human Actions: A Local SVM Approach1 Jan 2004 archive 2025-07-28

The efforts to create a non-trivial and publicly available dataset for action recognition was initiated at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in 2004. The KTH dataset is one of the most standard datasets, which contains six actions: walk, jog, run, box, hand-wave, and hand clap. To account for performance nuance, each action is performed by 25 different individuals, and the setting is systematically altered for each action per actor. Setting variations include: outdoor (s1), outdoor with scale variation (s2), outdoor with different clothes (s3), and indoor (s4). These variations test the ability of each algorithm to identify actions independent of the background, appearance of the actors, and the scale of the actors.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28

All 2 leaderboards whose dataset resolves to this page shown (sort by any header). "First row" is the archive's own first row at snapshot, in the archive's row order; nothing here re-ranks and metric direction is not asserted.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

25 shown of 25 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 279. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
