EXPERIMENTAL SETUP

The dataset is collected from 15 participants wearing 5 Shimmer sensor nodes on the locations listed in Table 1. The participants performed a series of 16 activities (7 basic and 9 postural transitions), listed in Table 2.

The captured signals are the following:

• 3-axis accelerometer
• 3-axis gyroscope
• 3-axis magnetometer

The sampling rate of the devices is set to 51.2 Hz.

DATASET FILES

The dataset contains the following files:

• partX/partXdev1.csv
• partX/partXdev2.csv
• partX/partXdev3.csv
• partX/partXdev4.csv
• partX/partXdev5.csv

Where X corresponds to the participant ID, and numbers 1-5 to the device IDs indicated in Table 1.

Each .csv file has the following format:

• Column1: Device ID
• Column2: accelerometer x
• Column3: accelerometer y
• Column4: accelerometer z
• Column5: gyroscope x
• Column6: gyroscope y
• Column7: gyroscope z
• Column8: magnetometer x
• Column9: magnetometer y
• Column10: magnetometer z
• Column11: Timestamp
• Column12: Activity Label
