Earthquake monitoring using volunteer smartphone-based sensor networks
Francesco Finazzi, Alessandro Fassò · Aisberg (University of Bergamo) · 2014
We introduce here the Earthquake Network project which implements a world-wide smartphone-based sensor network for the detection of earthquakes.Thanks to the accelerometric sensor, smartphones possibly detect the waves of a quake and report the event to a cloud computing infrastructure.In this work, we propose a solution to the detection problem based on statistical modelling the arrival times of the smartphone reports.
