KTH Track Dataset
 |
| UoB Scitos G5 robot - Bob |
The track data were collected autonomously by a Scitos G5 robot with an RGB-D camera on a pan-tilt and a mounted laser scanner on the base of the robot, navigating through University of Birmingham library for approximately ten hours. The data contain 6251 human tracks. Each track is regarded as a sequence of human positions sticthed together based on the chronology of the positions. This track is obtained by detecting and tracking a person passing in front of the robot. All collected tracks overlayed over UoB library map can be seen in the figure below. The chronology of each track is shown by the transition of the colour from blue to green. The data are a part of the Strands EU FP7 project.

Dataset structure
Data contain 6251 human tracks. Each track is stored in a cell Cn and each cell is composed of 4 x N matrix.
- First and second rows correspond to (x, y) coordinates in meters for each captured position.
- Third and fourth rows correspond to the second and nanosecond of the epoch/unix timestamp information of each position.
The timestamp has the format ssssssssss.nnnnnnnnn where s is the second and n is the nanosecond of the timestamp.
- The unix timestamp and corresponding date of a column j in a cell Cn is calculated using the formula:
-
TSn(j) = Cn(3,j) + Cn(4,j)*1e-09
-
timestamp = str2num(num2str(TSn(j), '%.10g'))
-
date = datestr(timestamp/86400 + datenum(1970,1,1))
