Inertial sensor dataset for Dog Posture Recognition
Description
This dataset contains inertial data collected from 42 healthy apprentice dogs (1 Golden Retriever, 16 Labrador Retrievers and 25 Crosses) participating in the assistance dog programme. During the video recorded data collection session, five postures (Standing, Sitting, Lying down, Walking, and Body shake) were annotated and further classified into two types (Dynamic, Static). The subjects wore inertial measurement units (IMUs) in three locations (back, neck, and chest) simultaneously. Inertial data were gathered using ActiGraph GT9X Links (Actigraph LLC, Pensacola, USA) containing three-axial accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer with a 100Hz sampling rate. A detailed description of the data provided in each of the .csv files is presented in the readme.md file. The authors of the dataset request researchers to cite the publication when using the data and publishing results produced using it. Ethical approval has been granted by Animal Ethics Experimentation Committee (AEEC) and Social Research Ethics Committee (SREC) at University College Cork (UCC).
