arus 1.1.21

Activity Recognition with Ubiquitous Sensing

Overview

ARUS python package provides a computational and experimental framework to manage and process sensory data or wireless devices, to develop and run activity recognition algorithms on the data, and to create interactive programs using the algorithms and wireless devices.

This package is licensed under GPL version 3.

Installation

> pip install arus
# Optionally, you may install plugins via pip extra syntax.
> pip install arus[metawear]
> pip install arus[demo]
> pip install arus[dev]
> pip install arus[nn]

Optional components

arus[metawear]: This optional component installs dependency supports for streaming data from Bluetooth metawear sensors.

arus[demo]: This optional component installs dependency supports for running the demo app that demonstrates a real-time interactive activity recognition training and testing program.

arus[dev]: These optional component installs dependency supports for running some package and version management functions in the arus.dev module.

arus[nn]: The optional component installs dependency supports for PyTorch and Tensorboard, which are required by arus.models.report module. Note that for Windows, you should install the torch package manually using pip following the pytorch.org instruction.

Development conventions

1. Use Google's python coding guidance: http://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html.
2. Use arus package release VERSION --release to bump and tag versions. VERSION can be manual version code following semantic versioning, path, minor, or major.
3. Changelogs are automatically generated when building the documentation website, do not create it manually.
4. Pypi release will be handled by github action deploy.yml, which will be triggered whenever a new tag is pushed. Therefore, developers should only tag release versions.
5. After commits, even not bumping and releasing the package, you may run arus package docs --release to update the documentation website, where the developer version changelogs will be updated immediately.
