Description of DaLiAc Database
Dominik Schuldhaus, Heike Leutheuser 17.09.2013
DaLiAc (Daily Life Activities) can be used as a benchmark database for the classi- fication of daily life activities based on inertial data. 13 activities of 19 participants are available.
DaLiAc contains the following activities.

STUDY DESIGN
SENSOR SETUP
FILE FORMAT
∗ All subjects had to walk on the university campus from one building to another building.
∗∗All subjects had to climb stairs to the third floor and then back again.
∗∗∗All subjects had to perform 5 trials with at least 5 jumps each.
19 healthy subjects (8 female and 11 male, age 26 ± 8 years, height 177 ± 11 cm, weight 75.2 ± 14.2 kg, mean ± standard deviation (SD))) participated in the study. All subjects gave written informed consent (for more information, see PAR-Q).
Four sensor nodes were placed on right hip, chest, right wrist and left ankle. Each sensor node consisted of three accelerometer axes (A1, A2, A3) and three gyroscope axes (G1, G2, G3). The range of the accelerometer was ± 6g. The range of the gyroscopes was ± 500 deg/s for the sensor nodes wrist, chest, hip and ± 2000 deg/s for the sensor node on the ankle. The sampling rate was set to 204.8Hz. Figure 1 shows the coordinate axes of each sensor node.
Each of the 19 datasets is structured as shown in Figure 2. Sensor data is stored column by column separated by comma. The last column contains the label L of the activities. Table 2 lists the thirteen activities and the corresponding label.
