Description

UT-HAR (Yousefi et al., University of Toronto) is one of the earliest publicly released WiFi CSI activity-recognition datasets and remains the de facto baseline in CSI HAR papers. It contains continuous CSI traces of seven daily activities (e.g. lie down, fall, walk, run, sit down, stand up, pick up) collected on commodity Intel 5300 NICs, sliced into per-activity segments.

Modality / size

  • Modality: WiFi CSI from Intel 5300 NIC, 30 subcarriers.
  • Subjects / scenarios: small set of subjects in a single indoor environment.
  • Labels: 7 activity classes.

Used by (papers)

  • Quasi-universal CSI HAR baseline, cited next to Widar, NTU-Fi, SignFi in benchmark tables.
  • Used in the SenseFi benchmark suite.

Notes

  • Public dataset; available from the original Yousefi et al. release.
  • Distinct from the CSI-HAR-Dataset by Moshiri et al. (see csi-har-dataset); some papers conflate them so check the citation when in doubt.
