Original dataset

Inside data/original folder you will find a list of .csv files, all the files have similar filename pattern, used to distinguish different sessions, sensor location and dataset type.

[session name]_[sensor location].[dataset_type].csv

For example, file session1_DAK.raw.csv represents the raw 3-axis accelerometer data file for session 1 on dominant ankle. And file session2.annotation.csv represents the annotation file for session 2.

Note that there is only one annotation file for each session so sensor_location is omitted.

There are four raw accelerometer data files for each session at four sensor locations,

  • dominant wrist (DW)

  • dominant ankle (DAK)

  • nondominant wrist (NDW)

  • dominant arm (DAR)

Note that for the experiments run in the paper, only wrist accelerometers are used, please refer to the paper for detailed explanation.

Raw sensor data format

The accelerometer we used is Actigraph GT3X, which has a dynamic range of ±4g and stores value using 10 bits, it’s a 3-axis linear accelerometer. It stores in csv format, with the first column being the unix timestamp, and column 2 to 4 for x, y and z axis.

1319714602650,0.15625,-0.4375,-0.109375

There is no header row. Data has already been converted to -4g to +4g from voltage.

Annotation file format

Annotation file has standard csv format with header describes the meaning of each column.
