Data Set Information:
The PAMAP2 Physical Activity Monitoring dataset contains data of 18 different physical activities (such as walking, cycling, playing soccer, etc.), performed by 9 subjects wearing 3 inertial measurement units and a heart rate monitor. The dataset can be used for activity recognition and intensity estimation, while developing and applying algorithms of data processing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification.
** Sensors **
3 Colibri wireless inertial measurement units (IMU):
- sampling frequency: 100Hz
- position of the sensors:
- 1 IMU over the wrist on the dominant arm
- 1 IMU on the chest
- 1 IMU on the dominant side's ankle
HR-monitor:
- sampling frequency: ~9Hz
** Data collection protocol **
Each of the subjects had to follow a protocol, containing 12 different activities. The folder a€?Protocola€? contains these recordings by subject.
Furthermore, some of the subjects also performed a few optional activities. The folder a€?Optionala€? contains these recordings by subject.
** Data files **
Raw sensory data can be found in space-separated text-files (.dat), 1 data file per subject per session (protocol or optional). Missing values are indicated with NaN. One line in the data files correspond to one timestamped and labeled instance of sensory data. The data files contain 54 columns: each line consists of a timestamp, an activity label (the ground truth) and 52 attributes of raw sensory data.
Attribute Information:
The 54 columns in the data files are organized as follows:
1. timestamp (s)
2. activityID (see below for the mapping to the activities)
3. heart rate (bpm)
4-20. IMU hand
21-37. IMU chest
38-54. IMU ankle
The IMU sensory data contains the following columns:
1. temperature (?°C)
2-4. 3D-acceleration data (ms-2), scale: ?±16g, resolution: 13-bit
5-7. 3D-acceleration data (ms-2), scale: ?±6g, resolution: 13-bit
8-10. 3D-gyroscope data (rad/s)
11-13. 3D-magnetometer data (??T)
14-17. orientation (invalid in this data collection)
List of activityIDs and corresponding activities:
1 lying
2 sitting
3 standing
4 walking
5 running
6 cycling
7 Nordic walking
9 watching TV
10 computer work
11 car driving
12 ascending stairs
13 descending stairs
16 vacuum cleaning
17 ironing
18 folding laundry
19 house cleaning
20 playing soccer
24 rope jumping
0 other (transient activities)
