Description

🚀 Feature

Adding toy video datasets for generative models such as Moving MNIST and Robonet

Motivation

The currently available video datasets are suitable for recognition and not synthesis. It would be nice if you add simple toy video datasets such as Moving MNIST.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine existing dataset implementations in torchvision/datasets/, especially the MNIST class. Implement a MovingMNIST class that generates synthetic videos of moving digits with random trajectories. Follow the pattern of other datasets, including proper registration in init .py and adding unit tests. For Robonet, explore the original dataset format and adapt it similarly. Consider reaching out to maintainers (cc @pmeier) for guidance on integration.
