1) App for recording all sensors readings in a smartphone (GetSensorData)

​The «GetSensorData» app (for Android) is capable of recording into a logfile all the sensor information available in a smartphone. It is capable of recording  WiFi RSS, Inertial data (Accelerometer and Gyroscope), Magnetic, GPS, the orientation of the phone, Pressure, Temperature, Humidity, Sound intensity and Light intensity, as well as other external sensors (Xsens & Inertial Elements IMUs, RFCode RFID readers, etc). This app is used starting in the International IPIN 2016 Competition («Smartphone-based» track 3 ompetition) and in subsequent editions (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 … and 2024). Starting in 2025 a new version was released.

Here some pictures of the GetSensorData app interface:

The app can store a logfile with sensor data. Each logfile is a “txt” file containing multiple rows with different types of data. Each row registers the data received from a particular sensor type in the phone at a given time. The stream of sensor data generated in the phone is stored, row by row, in the logfile in sequence as they are received. Each row begins with an initial header (4 capital letters followed by a semicolon, e.g. ‘WIFI’, ‘ACC’,’MAGN’, etc.) that determines the kind of sensor read, and several fields separated by semicolon with different readings. This is an extract of a real log file shown as example:

You can mark your ground-truth or reference points by pressing the lower button to insert «POSI» lines.

An initial GetSensorsData Suite repository (https://gitlab.com/getsensordatasuite), now deprecated, was made available to the community for its usage and improvement. The full description of the application used to collect the data, as well as to obtain the calibrated maps, can be found below:

New 2025 GetSensorData App Version

A new version of the GetSensorData App (June 2025 version), which was specifically used for data collection in the IPIN 2025 Track 3 competition, is now available. This version is compatible with modern Android phones (from API 28 to 35; Android 9 to 15) and can be downloaded, cloned, and contributed to from a new repository: https://gitlab.com/getsensordatatools.

This new 2025 GetSensorData App version now includes registration of RAW GNSS data, uncalibrated Magnetometers, step counts, and several improvements for permission handling, as required by newer Android versions.

We encourage you to get involved in the development of this new GetSensorData App and provide your contributions through the GetSensorsDataTools GitLab project, which you can clone and update from the following links:

• https://gitlab.com/getsensordatatools/getsensordata_android.git

2) Foot Mounted IMU data sets for the evaluation of PDR algorithms:

Comments :

• Datasets are simplified human step patterns synthetically created and then derived to obtain the simulated IMU information
• The simulated information from the IMU is the acceleration (Acc), turn rates (Gyr) and magnetic field (Mag)
• All datasets includes a position (Pos), velocity (Vel) and orientation (Euler and DCM) ground truth.
• Units are in meters, seconds and radians. Sampling frequency: 100 Hz
• All steps are normalized at 1 second duration
• The IMU is simulated rotated with 5 degrees of roll and 15 degress of pitch like the picture.
• All trajectories starts in the point (0,0,0)
• Gravity is 9.8 m/s2
• All the datasets include a 20 seconds initial stance and 20 seconds final stance
• To generate a longer dataset, eliminate the initial and final stance phases and concatenate several signals.
• The signals are noiseless, therefore the specific noise pattern of an IMU must be added, for the IMU used by us (XSense MTi) is:
• Accelerometer:  0.012 m/s2 standard deviation random noise and a random constant with a Gaussian distribution and a standard deviation  of 0.04 m/s2 for the bias.
• Gyroscope: 0.0087 rad/s standard deviation random noise and a random constant with a Gaussian distribution and a standard deviation of 0.015 m/s2 for the bias.
• Any other noise pattern can be used.
