7. More About Stimuli

All videos used in the VEATIC dataset were selected from an online video-sharing website (YouTube). The VEATIC dataset contains 124 video clips, 104 clips from Hollywood movies, 15 clips from home videos, and 5 clips from documentaries or reality TV shows. Specifically, we classify Documentary videos as any videos that show candid social interactions but have some form of video editing, while home videos refer to videos that show candid social interactions without any video editing. All Videos in the dataset had a frame rate of 25 frames per second and ranged in resolution with the lowest being 202 x 360 and the highest being 1920 x 1080.

Except for the overview of video frames in Figure 2, we show more samples in Figure 9. Moreover, unlike previously published datasets where most frames contain the main character [31, 29, 32], VEATIC not only has frames containing the selected character but also there are lots of frames containing unselected characters and pure backgrounds (Figure 10). Therefore, VEATIC is more similar to our daily life scenarios, and the algorithms trained on it will be more promising for daily applications.
