UJA Human Activity Recognition multi-occupancy dataset

Abstract

Activity Recognition Systems - ARS are proposed to improve the quality of human life. An ARS uses predictive models to identify the activities that individuals are performing in different environments. Under data-driven approaches, these models are trained and tested in experimental environments from datasets that contain data collected from heterogeneous information sources. When several people interact (multi-occupation) in the environment from which data are collected, identifying the activities performed by each individual in a time window is not a trivial task. In addition, there is a lack of datasets generated from different data sources, which allow systems to be evaluated both from an individual and collective perspective. This paper presents the SaMO - UJA dataset, which contains Single and Multi-Occupancy activities collected in the UJAmI (University of Jaén Ambient Intelligence, Spain) Smart Lab. The main contribution of this work is the presentation of a dataset that includes a new generation of sensors as a source of information (acceleration of the inhabitant, intelligent floor for location, proximity and binary-sensors) to provide an excellent tool for addressing multi-occupancy in smart environments.
