Activity Recognition: Datasets, Bibliography and others Back

---

Overview

This page is intended to maintain a website where we list and categorize the available datasets in activity recognition area and research results on these data. Note here activity recognition actually covers plan recognition, goal recognition, intent recognition, behavior recognition, location estimation and location-based services or other similar terms. We welcome the community to continue to contribute to this effort.

Call for participation

We note that, there is no publicly available and commonly used dataset for activity recognition. Recent publications show that there are some different datasets but no commonly accepted datasets used as a standard. We believe that datasets commonly used will improve the progress of the field of activity recognition.

If you are the owner of an existing dataset related to activity recognition and would to make it available, please send the dataset or the url to me and it will be added to this webpage.
