Smart sensor data from tracking a single wooden dowel travelling along a flume in laboratory experiments
[This nonGeographicDataset is embargoed until October 10, 2025]. This dataset contains measurements from smart sensors and cameras monitoring the movement of a single wooden dowel moving downstream in a flume. The following values in the x, y, and z directions are provided: velocity, linear acceleration, angular velocity, and filtered angular velocity. The quaternion components are also included. Four uniform flow conditions were tested, and the experiments were repeated about 50 times. Full details about this nonGeographicDataset can be found at

- Statement
- The wooden dowel was hollow, and a sensor equipped with an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a magnetometer was installed within the longitudinal borehole of the wooden dowel. The experiments were recorded above by two cameras (GoPro HERO4 Silver) with a 2.7K resolution and a frame rate of 30 fps. The accelerometer and gyroscope had an acquisition frequency set at 14.9 Hz, whereas the magnetometer recorded at 5 Hz. The data were processed and saved in CSV files, one for each flow condition and each experiment. First, the cameras were calibrated and the images were rectified. Then, each sensor was calibrated and the orientation angles were computed. The gravity effects were compensated for to compute the linear acceleration. Lastly, a linear Kalman filter was used to computer more reliable linear acceleration, velocity and position values. More details are available in the ReadMe.docx.
