HARTH

Donated on 2/20/2023

The Human Activity Recognition Trondheim (HARTH) dataset is a professionally-annotated dataset containing 22 subjects wearing two 3-axial accelerometers for around 2 hours in a free-living setting. The sensors were attached to the right thigh and lower back. The professional recordings and annotations provide a promising benchmark dataset for researchers to develop innovative machine learning approaches for precise HAR in free living.

Additional Information

The HARTH dataset contains recordings of 22 participants wearing two 3-axial Axivity AX3 accelerometers for around 2 hours in a free-living setting. One sensor was attached to the right front thigh and the other to the lower back. The provided sampling rate is 50Hz. Video recordings of a chest-mounted camera were used to annotate the performed activities frame-by-frame. Each subject's recordings are provided in a separate .csv file. One such .csv file contains the following columns: 1. timestamp: date and time of recorded sample 2. back_x: acceleration of back sensor in x-direction (down) in the unit g 3. back_y: acceleration of back sensor in y-direction (left) in the unit g 4. back_z: acceleration of back sensor in z-direction (forward) in the unit g 5. thigh_x: acceleration of thigh sensor in x-direction (down) in the unit g 6. thigh_y: acceleration of thigh sensor in y-direction (right) in the unit g 7. thigh_z: acceleration of thigh sensor in z-direction (backward) in the unit g 8. label: annotated activity code The dataset contains the following annotated activities with the corresponding coding: 1: walking 2: running 3: shuffling 4: stairs (ascending) 5: stairs (descending) 6: standing 7: sitting 8: lying 13: cycling (sit) 14: cycling (stand) 130: cycling (sit, inactive) 140: cycling (stand, inactive)
