In this project we analyze experimental data of smartphone users. Smartphone sensor data is used as input to predict the activity of the user. The observations were hand labeled during the experiment.
The different data sets and detailed descriptions of the experiment are available at: http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/00240/

"The experiments have been carried out with a group of 30 volunteers within an age bracket of 19-48 years. Each person performed six activities (WALKING, WALKING_UPSTAIRS, WALKING_DOWNSTAIRS, SITTING, STANDING, LAYING) wearing a smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S II) on the waist. Using its embedded accelerometer and gyroscope, we captured 3-axial linear acceleration and 3-axial angular velocity at a constant rate of 50Hz. The experiments have been video-recorded to label the data manually. The obtained dataset has been randomly partitioned into two sets, where 70% of the volunteers was selected for generating the training data and 30% the test data.
The sensor signals (accelerometer and gyroscope) were pre-processed by applying noise filters and then sampled in fixed-width sliding windows of 2.56 sec and 50% overlap (128 readings/window). The sensor acceleration signal, which has gravitational and body motion components, was separated using a Butterworth low-pass filter into body acceleration and gravity. The gravitational force is assumed to have only low frequency components, therefore a filter with 0.3 Hz cutoff frequency was used. From each window, a vector of features was obtained by calculating variables from the time and frequency domain.
Check the README.txt file for further details about this dataset.
A video of the experiment including an example of the 6 recorded activities with one of the participants can be seen in the following link: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOEN9W05_4A]
An updated version of this dataset can be found at [http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Smartphone-Based+Recognition+of+Human+Activities+and+Postural+Transitions]. It includes labels of postural transitions between activities and also the full raw inertial signals instead of the ones pre-processed into windows."
