Ground truth cleaning

Note Master 23-07-2026

How the survey records were cleaned before use, as written in the final thesis (Section 3.3.4).

Step Stay clusters
Stop records from the experiment 1,029
After removing incomplete self-reports, failed or too-sparse GPS logs, and stops that could not be verified from the trajectory 975
After removing stays with no matching entity polygon (chiefly the Shareo and Kamiyacho underground arcades) and a few dropped after manual verification 907

Some phones ran out of battery during several sessions. That is part of the drop from 1,029 to 975, and it affected some participants and sessions more than others. The second cleaning step is listed stop by stop in Ground truth drop list.

An earlier draft of the thesis gave 956 as the count before the second step. The saved data showed 975, and the final thesis uses 975.

Result: Ground truth dataset. Part of Ground truth data.
