Children{\textquoteright}s social and physical environment plays a signifi-{\textless}br{\textgreater}cant role in their cognitive development. Therefore, children{\textquoteright}s lived expe-{\textless}br{\textgreater}riences are important to developmental psychologists. The traditional{\textless}br{\textgreater}way of studying everyday experiences has become a bottleneck because{\textless}br{\textgreater}it relies on short recordings and manual coding. Designing a non-invasive{\textless}br{\textgreater}child-friendly recording setup and automating the coding process can{\textless}br{\textgreater}potentially improve the research standards by allowing researchers to{\textless}br{\textgreater}study longer and more diverse aspects of experience. We leverage mod-{\textless}br{\textgreater}ern computer vision tools and techniques to address this problem. We{\textless}br{\textgreater}present a simple and non-invasive video recording setup and collect ego-{\textless}br{\textgreater}centric data from children. We test the state-of-the-art object detectors{\textless}br{\textgreater}and observe that egocentric videos from children are a challenging prob-{\textless}br{\textgreater}lem, indicated by the low mean Average Precision of state-of-the-art.{\textless}br{\textgreater}The performance of these object detectors can be improved through fine-{\textless}br{\textgreater}tuning. Once accurate object detection has been achieved, other ques-{\textless}br{\textgreater}tions, such as human-object interaction and scene understanding, can{\textless}br{\textgreater}be answered. Developing an automatic processing pipeline may provide{\textless}br{\textgreater}an important tool for developmental psychologists to study variation in{\textless}br{\textgreater}everyday experience.}}, booktitle = {{Intelligent Systems and Applications: Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems : Proceedings of the 2023 Intelligent Systems Conference (IntelliSys), Volume 2}}, editor = {Arai, Kohei}, pages = {376--383}, }
