    Abstract

    Publicly available data sets are increasingly becoming an important research tool in context recognition. However, due to the diversity and complexity of the domain it is difficult to provide standard recordings that cover the majority of possible applications and research questions. In this paper we describe a novel data set hat combines a number of properties, that, in this combination, are missing from existing data sets. This includes complex, overlapping and hierarchically decomposable activities, a large number of repetitions, significant number of different users and a highly multi modal sensor setup. The set contains around 25 hours of data from 12 subjects. On the low level there are around 30'000 individual annotated actions (e.g. picking up a knife, opening a drawer). On the highest level (e.g. getting up, breakfast preparation) we have around 200 context instances. Overall 72 sensors from 10 different modalities (different on body motion sensors, different sound sources, two cameras, video, object usage, device power consumption and location) were recorded.
