About the Role

We're hiring field data collectors to record real-world street and indoor video across Indian cities using a head-mounted GoPro camera. You'll walk at a natural pace through streets, markets, temple areas, shops, and transit points, capturing everyday urban scenes for an AI/computer-vision dataset.

This is hands-on, in-person field work. If you enjoy walking, exploring your city, and following clear technical instructions, this role is for you. No prior filming experience required — full capture guidelines are provided.

Payment & QC-Approved Hours

- Pay rate: ₹350 per QC-approved footage hour.
- You are paid only for footage that passes quality control (QC). Payment is calculated on QC-approved hours, not on total hours filmed or time spent.
- Every submission goes through automated QC and manual review. Footage is rejected and not paid if it fails on any of these grounds:
- Wrong resolution (anything other than 1920×1080)
- Motion blur / out-of-focus footage
- Overexposure (more than 30% of pixels saturated)
- Long empty stretches (roughly 2 minutes with no relevant scene)
- Missing or incorrect folder structure / naming
- Not meeting the required capture settings or scene-coverage mix
- Example: if you submit 3 hours of footage and 2.5 hours pass QC, you are paid for 2.5 hours (2.5 × ₹350 = ₹875).
- Following the camera settings, scene-coverage targets, and object-class guidance closely is the best way to maximise your QC-approved (paid) hours.

Equipment requirement: You must own your own GoPro camera and a head mount. This is mandatory — please do not apply without one.

What You'll Do

- ~10% Crowds (junctions, temple entrances, market lanes)
- ~10% Low-light/Evening (street lamps, evening markets, signage)
- Ensure the object classes listed below appear across your footage.
- Follow the folder naming convention and verify every file plays back error-free before upload.
- Upload raw footage (with original camera metadata and audio intact) via Google Drive.
