Technical Field Note #02 · First-party capture evidence
Egocentric RGB + IMU Task Sample
A capability demonstration of Origin Data Lab's real-world capture pipeline, combining egocentric RGB video, native and application-level IMU streams, structured task metadata, integrity checks, and software-derived temporal alignment.

Scope & Non-claims
What this sample demonstrates
This first-party technical sample documents one short task excerpt produced through Origin Data Lab's capture and verification workflow. It is intended to make measured capture characteristics, timing methodology, task structure, and delivery integrity directly inspectable.
It is a capability sample, not a fleet-wide performance claim and not an off-the-shelf training dataset. Temporal alignment in this release is software-derived. It does not claim hardware synchronization, frame-level synchronization, or sub-frame synchronization.
Capture Context
Real manipulation, structured as an inspectable task sequence
The excerpt contains food-preparation manipulation involving a knife, cutting board, onions, and a sweet potato. Approximate temporal task labels were created manually for this evaluation sample.

Measured Sensor Characteristics
Measured rates and timestamp integrity
| Stream | Samples | Measured rate | Max interval | Duplicate / non-monotonic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Native accelerometer | 8,028 | 410.641 Hz | 2.436 ms | 0 / 0 |
| Native gyroscope | 8,028 | 410.641 Hz | 2.436 ms | 0 / 0 |
| Application accelerometer | 2,001 | 102.353 Hz | 21.918 ms | 0 / 0 |
| Application gyroscope | 1,998 | 102.162 Hz | 21.918 ms | 0 / 0 |
Native and application-level streams represent separate capture paths. In this sample, all 2,001 application accelerometer timestamps and all 1,998 application gyroscope timestamps are exact timestamp matches within the corresponding native streams.
The observed native-to-application accelerometer scale relationship is approximately 9.80665. This strongly supports application-level acceleration expressed in g and native acceleration expressed in m/s². Gyroscope values are consistent with rad/s, but implementation-level unit verification is outside the scope of this public sample.
Timing Methodology
Software-derived video–IMU temporal alignment
Sensor events carry nanosecond-resolution monotonic timestamps. For this public excerpt, the IMU streams were mapped to the public video timeline using capture-session timing anchors and visual–inertial refinement.
These checks were performed on the released excerpt and are therefore in-sample validation. They should not be interpreted as hardware synchronization or as proof of a session-invariant camera startup offset.
Delivery Structure
Inspectable files, task metadata, and integrity evidence
Capture payload
RGB video plus native and application-level accelerometer and gyroscope streams.
Structured task metadata
Task structure and interaction-event JSON provide approximate temporal descriptions of the demonstrated manipulation sequence.
Integrity & verification
SHA-256 checksums, an integrity report, and a verification script make package-level inspection reproducible.

Known Limitations
What this sample does not claim
The public package is a single short capability sample. It does not establish fleet-wide capture performance or production-scale acceptance rates.
Video–IMU alignment is software-derived and validated on the released excerpt. No hardware, frame-level, or sub-frame synchronization claim is made.
The sample contains manual approximate temporal annotations, not spatial hand, object, pose, segmentation, or 3D labels. Audio is not included in the public excerpt.
Camera intrinsics and extrinsics are not provided, and the physical mount configuration is not asserted in this release.
