Abstract:: This paper addresses the lack of a commonly used, standard dataset and established benchmarking problems for physical activity monitoring. A new dataset — recorded from 18 activities performed by 9 subjects, wearing 3 IMUs and a HR-monitor — is created and made publicly available. Moreover, 4 classification problems are benchmarked on the dataset, using a standard data processing chain and 5 different classifiers. The benchmark shows the difficulty of the classification tasks and exposes new challenges for physical activity monitoring.
