Wearable Sensor Annotation for Human Activity AI

Create structured training data from recorded wearable measurements. Label activity periods, transitions, and motion events while preserving the channels and context behind each example.

Data Curation and Annotation for Wearable Sensors

Prepare reliable examples of movement and activity from recorded sensor data. Connect precise annotation tools with shared label definitions and an organized review workflow.

Activity Period Labeling

Mark meaningful activity intervals with range annotations. Use classes such as walking, running, or stationary when those labels are supported by your recording context and guidelines.

Activity Transition Events

Mark exact samples for a transition or brief motion event. Preserve the original X-axis value and the measurements before and after the event.
Aligned Acceleration X, Y and Z channels with a shared activity range.

Multiaxis Motion Context

Inspect related accelerometer or gyroscope channels over the same X-axis window. Keep channel identity available when applying labels to one signal or the full recording.

Consistent Activity Definitions

Define activity classes and structured recording properties in a shared ontology. Review uncertain boundaries and return items for refinement when the evidence needs another look.

Annotation Types for Wearable Time-Series Data

Use ranges to describe activity periods and points to capture exact transitions or events. Shared ontologies keep labels consistent across recordings and reviewers.
Sensor signal with an editable Active period range from three to seven seconds.

Range Annotation for Activity Periods

Select the start and end of a meaningful activity interval. Assign a class and structured properties while preserving the signal surrounding the selection.

Point Annotation for Motion Events

Mark a single sample for a transition or brief event. Retain its original X-axis value and channel context through review and export.

Wearables & Human Activity FAQs

What is wearable sensor data annotation?

It adds activity and event labels to recorded wearable measurements for machine-learning datasets. Unitlab supports time-series ranges and points, shared ontologies, and quality review in a native chart workspace.

Which wearable measurements can I use?

Use CSV recordings with a numeric or supported timezone-aware timestamp X-axis and numeric measurement channels. Accelerometer, gyroscope, and other recorded wearable channels can be represented in this format.

Can I label walking, running, or stationary periods?

Yes. Range annotations can represent activity classes defined by your ontology and labeling guidelines. Annotators select the relevant interval while reviewing its surrounding signal context.

Can I mark a transition between activities?

Yes. Point annotations mark individual samples, while ranges describe longer periods. Each annotation retains its X-axis value or boundaries and its channel context.

How can multiple motion channels be compared?

Inspect channels in separate charts with a shared X-axis window, or combine selected channels into one view. Labels can apply to an individual channel or the recording as a whole.

Can a team use a shared activity ontology?

Yes. Define classes, structured properties, recording-level context, and relationships in an ontology. Required-property checks and consistent choices help teams apply the same annotation scheme.

How are ambiguous activity labels reviewed?

Use annotation, review, and rework stages with chart-anchored comments. Consensus and approved benchmark checks support quality decisions where configured in the workflow.

Can I select and version wearable recordings before labeling?

Yes. Search, metadata, tags, and filters help create a focused asset selection. Dataset versions and reviewed releases preserve traceability as the project grows.

How can labeled wearable data be exported?

JSONL exports preserve activity ranges, point events, original X-axis values, channel context, and supported properties. The structured output can be used in your downstream model training and evaluation pipeline.
