MotionSense
iPhone 6s IMU HAR + attribute inference (n=24, 6 activities)
MotionSense is a smartphone motion dataset recorded with an iPhone 6s in the front trouser pocket, logging attitude, gravity, user acceleration and rotation rate from Core Motion at 50 Hz via SensingKit. 24 participants of varied gender, age, weight and height performed six activities (walking downstairs and upstairs, walking, jogging, sitting, standing) over 15 trials. It was released by Queen Mary University of London for activity recognition and for studying inference of personal attributes, with the paper Mobile Sensor Data Anonymization (IoTDI 2019).
