We have used deep-learning algorithms to detect mobile phone usage. We are releasing the pretrained models and dataset here. The readme in those folders provide the necessary explanations. Also see our research paper to know more.
21-Jan-2023 update: We have developed a new dataset, named MUID-IITR, which is available here. Researchers can use this in place of IITH-GDMU dataset.
29-Nov-2022 update: The below links are not working and the authors have lost access to the dataset. If any user/researcher had earlier downloaded the dataset, we request them to share the dataset with authors again, so we can make them available to the scientific community again. Thank you so much.
