| # Inside the Fridge |
|
|
| Explore the contents of **44 real household refrigerators** in **47 trimmed, redacted videos**, with one wide-view thumbnail per fridge. About **41 minutes** of video capture shelves, packaging, food, and everyday clutter from changing viewpoints. |
|
|
| Use this free sample to explore food and packaging recognition, video understanding, household scene understanding, and perception for robotics. Research and commercial model development are permitted under the [CollectData Sample Data License 1.1](LICENSE.txt). |

| ## Get the data |
|
|
| Select **Request access**, complete the short form, and accept the license. **Access is approved automatically**, as with our [Tidy Up sample](https://huggingface.co/datasets/CollectDataIO/tidy-up-kitchens). No separate email request is needed. |
|
|
| Download individual files from **Files and versions**, or download this release after accepting access: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| pip install -U huggingface_hub |
| hf auth login |
| hf download CollectDataIO/inside-the-fridge --repo-type dataset --revision v1.0.0 --local-dir inside-the-fridge |
| ``` |
|
|
| Each `fridges/fridge-XX/` directory contains `thumbnail.webp` and one or more `part-XX.mp4` files. Public fridge numbers match the gallery and have intentional gaps. `assets.csv` has one row per video; `manifest.json` lists all 91 media files, their sizes, checksums, and video properties. `SHA256SUMS` covers the release files. |
|
|
| ## What is included |
|
|
| | Item | Contents | |
| | --- | --- | |
| | Refrigerators | 44 | |
| | Videos | 47 MP4 clips; 41.3 minutes total | |
| | Thumbnails | 44 WebP images; one wide view per fridge | |
| | Encoding | HEVC/H.265, 30 fps, retained display resolution (see manifest) | |
| | Audio | None: every MP4 contains exactly one video track and zero audio tracks | |
| | Annotations | File-level metadata only; no food labels or bounding boxes | |
|
|
| The three multipart fridges each have two retained clips. The website joins these parts and uses smaller H.264 versions for browser playback. This download retains the higher-resolution reviewed HEVC videos. Use an HEVC-capable player or decoder. |
|
|
| ## Preparation and limitations |
|
|
| This release contains selected open-fridge intervals from paid contributions. Clips were trimmed, reviewed for faces and visible personal information, and masked where issues were found. Two tattoo-bearing scans were excluded. All known retained review findings are masked. The review combined automated face detection with human review and sampled checks; it does not certify complete anonymization. Do not attempt to identify contributors or their homes. Report privacy issues to **info@collectdata.io**. |
|
|
| The release excludes raw captures, participant identifiers, GPS, private review evidence, and unreviewed ancillary files. It does **not** include depth maps, poses, meshes, or synchronized scan bundles. Clip times are normalized and are not timestamps into raw captures. Coverage, framing, lighting, occlusion, and visible contents vary; this is a small convenience sample, not a representative food inventory benchmark. |
|
|
| ## License and attribution |
|
|
| The unchanged [CollectData Sample Data License 1.1](LICENSE.txt) governs this release; `license.json` binds it to the package manifest. There is no dataset license fee, revenue threshold, per-model royalty, or scheduled expiry. The license permits research and commercial model development and deployment, subject to its terms. You may publish compliant results, models, and reconstructions. Credit CollectData when sharing results, protect privacy, and do not repost or redistribute the source dataset. Share this Hugging Face page so others can accept their own license. |
