I have time series data collected from a cellphone accelerometer sampled at 500Hz. The data is collected from the phone of a wheelchair user as he goes over a platform of a certain thickness. The abrupt change in height causes spikes in the data stream which is the event. Each sample has two events, the user going up the platform and when he comes down the platform. What would be a good way to filter noise and perform data segmentation?

We need discrete sampling times.
We should not have to guess.

@Star Strider&@Kaushik Lakshminarasimhan Sorry guys! Didn't have a net connection for the past two days. The fourth column is the time stamp. The data file information reads that the minimum delay between observations is 2ms. I'm a beginner in signal processing. I'm assuming that this could be treated as the sampling frequency (2ms=500Hz)? The data points enclosed by the two set of blue vertical lines are the part of the time series that I want to segment. The initial spikes are from acceleration of the wheel chair. The ones within the blue lines are from the wheelchair going up a .75in step and the second one if from the wheelchair going down the step. I used a manual wheelchair to collect the data.

Hello,
one simple option is to set a threshold value for the signal power of your data. To reduce the noise level you can apply for example a moving average filter.
close all
clc
data=csvread('acc', 26, 0);
% Width of the moving average window (filter)
window_width = 50;
% Threshold level for the signal energy
threshold = 0.005;
% Remove constant offset from data and normalize
data(:,3) = data(:,3) - mean(data(:,3));
data(:,3) = data(:,3)/max(data(:,3));
% Calculate signal power
signal_power = data(:,3).^2;
% filtered data
filtered_signal_power = movmean(signal_power, window_width);
% event detection
event = filtered_signal_power > threshold;
plot(data(:,3))
hold on
plot(event)

For the segmentation, if you have R2017b, the new ischange function should help to separate the events.
