Smartphone records of accelerometer and compass readings, wireless network state, and application data usage collected for MiDAS project at Rice University.Accelerometer and compass readings along with network usage and application data usage information from 11 smartphone users, each for one week in the field.date/time of measurement start: 2010-01-04date/time of measurement end: 2010-02-09collection environment: We employ a commercial smarthphone with a built-in tri axis accelerometer and compass, HTC G1, to collect data regarding device orientation from real mobile device usage. We have developed a software logger to collect accelerometer and compass readings along with information regarding wireless network status, and applications being used for HTC G1. The logger runs in the background and collects data about every 10ms, including both voice and Internet usage. We employ a larger battery and an extended battery compartment cover for the HTC G1 so that the smartphone has 10 to 15 hours of battery lifetime with normal usage, long enough not to significantly affect participants usage.data collection methodology: We have collected accelerometer and compass readings from 11 smartphone users, each for one week along with both voice and data usage. The average usage time for a participant is 25.9 hours.limitation: In practice, there are a few challenges to the estimation algorithm from the hardware limitations of accelerometer and compass in smartphones. First, both the accelerometer and the compass are prone to hardware noise. In particular, the compass can be easily interfered by electromagnetic activities nearby, including those by the host device. From controlled measurement conducted in the lab, we observe that such interferences and hardware noise tend to be much higher frequency than what could be possibly introduced by device rotation or mobility. Therefore, when analysing the logs, we suppress the noise and interference with a moving average window of 25 samples. Moreover, the numerical readings of a sensor can be different from the physical value. For example, when there is no acceleration, the accelerometer reading can be non-zero. When processing the logs, we remove this offset by data demeaning. Finally, while we leverage the impact of gravity on the accelerometer reading to estimate the orientation, the accelerometer reading also reflects the mobility of a device through acceleration. We note that the gravity is almost constant while the external acceleration due to mobility changes much faster. Therefore, in our analysis, the impact from mobility is suppressed with the mentioned low pass filther.  license: This data comes with the following license from Rice Efficient Computing Group.1.
