The ADXL345 is a small, thin, low power, 3-axis accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit)measurement at up to ±16 g. Digital output data is formatted as 16-bit twos complement and is accessible through either a SPI (3- or 4-wire) or I2C digital interface. The ADXL345 is well suited for mobile device applications. It measures the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion or shock. Its high resolution (4 mg/LSB) enables measurement of inclination changes less than 1.0°. Several special sensing functions are provided. Activity and inactivity sensing detect the presence or lack of motion and if the acceleration on any axis exceeds a user-set level. Tap sensing detects single and double taps. Free-fall sensing detects if the device is falling. These functions can be mapped to one of two interrupt output pins. An integrated, patent pending 32-level first in, first out (FIFO) buffer can be used to store data to minimize host processor intervention. Low power modes enable intelligent motion based power management with threshold sensing and active acceleration measurement at extremely low power dissipation.
It is a Presentation on various sensors around us. Some of the basic sensors are mentioned and explained inside this presentation.

Mobile devices are becoming more and more powerful. They come with all sorts of wonderful hardware like cpu/gpus, tons of ram and blazing fast download times. Smart phones have become commoditized in a sense. What's the next evolution of mobile? Now these devices are coming with a really solid set of sensors and apis that allow developers to determine a user's context. How does that work? Developers fuse the sensor output to infer context and infer events from the data. This talk will discuss ways to do it, challenges and drawbacks.
3. CMMOTIONMANAGER
• A CMMotionManager object is the gateway to the
motion services provided by iOS.
• These services provide an app with accelerometer data,
rotation-rate data, magnetometer data, and other
device-motion data such as attitude.
• These types of data originate with a device’s
accelerometers and (on some models) its
magnetometer and gyroscope.
4. TYPES OF MOTION
SENSORS
• Accelerometer
• Gyroscope
• Magnetometer
• Device Motion (Combines all three)
15. OVERVIEW
• Android Sensors Overview
• Types of Sensors
• Motion Sensors
• Environmental Sensors
• Position Sensors
• Introduction to Sensor Framework
16. SENSORS OVERVIEW
• Most Android-powered devices have built-in sensors
that measure motion, orientation, and various
environmental conditions.
• These sensors are capable of providing raw data with
high precision and accuracy, and are useful if you
want to monitor three-dimensional device movement
or positioning, or you want to monitor changes in the
ambient environment near a device.
17. SENSOR EXAMPLES
• For example, a game might track readings from a
device's gravity sensor to infer complex user gestures
and motions, such as tilt, shake, rotation, or swing.
• Likewise, a weather application might use a device's
temperature sensor and humidity sensor to calculate
and report the dewpoint, or a travel application might
use the geomagnetic field sensor and accelerometer
to report a compass bearing.
18. TYPES OF SENSORS
• Motion Sensors
• Environmental Sensors
• Position Sensors
19. MOTION SENSORS
• These sensors measure acceleration forces and
rotational forces along three axes.
• This category includes accelerometers, gravity
sensors, gyroscopes, and rotational vector sensors.
20. ENVIRONMENT SENSORS
• These sensors measure various environmental
parameters, such as ambient air temperature and
pressure, illumination, and humidity.
• This category includes barometers, photometers, and
thermometers.
21. POSITION SENSORS
• These sensors measure the physical position of a
device.
• This category includes orientation sensors and
magnetometers.
22. SENSORS
• You can access sensors available on the device and acquire raw
sensor data by using the Android sensor framework.
• For example, you can use the sensor framework to do the following:
• Determine which sensors are available on a device.
• Determine an individual sensor's capabilities, such as its maximum
range, manufacturer, power requirements, and resolution.
• Acquire raw sensor data and define the minimum rate at which you
acquire sensor data.
• Register and unregister sensor event listeners that monitor sensor
changes.
23. INTRODUCTION TO
SENSOR FRAMEWORK
• The Android sensor framework lets you access many types of sensors. Some
of these sensors are hardware-based and some are software-based.
• Hardware-based sensors are physical components built into a handset or
tablet device. They derive their data by directly measuring specific
environmental properties, such as acceleration, geomagnetic field strength,
or angular change.
• Software-based sensors are not physical devices, although they mimic
hardware-based sensors. Software-based sensors derive their data from one
or more of the hardware-based sensors and are sometimes called virtual
sensors or synthetic sensors.
• The linear acceleration sensor and the gravity sensor are examples of
software-based sensors.
24. SENSOR MANAGER
• You can use this class to create an instance of the sensor
service.
• This class provides various methods for accessing and
listing sensors, registering and unregistering sensor event
listeners, and acquiring orientation information.
• This class also provides several sensor constants that are
used to report sensor accuracy, set data acquisition rates,
and calibrate sensors.
25. SENSOR
• You can use this class to create an instance of a
specific sensor.
• This class provides various methods that let you
determine a sensor's capabilities.
26. SENSOR EVENT
• The system uses this class to create a sensor event object,
which provides information about a sensor event.
• A sensor event object includes the following information:
• the raw sensor data
• the type of sensor that generated the event
• the accuracy of the data
• the timestamp for the event.
27. SENSOR EVENTLISTENER
• You can use this interface to create two callback
methods that receive notifications (sensor events)z;
• sensor values change
• sensor accuracy changes.
28. DEVICES
• Few Android-powered devices have every type of sensor.
• For example, most handset devices and tablets have an
accelerometer and a magnetometer, but fewer devices have
barometers or thermometers.
• Also, a device can have more than one sensor of a given
type.
• For example, a device can have two gravity sensors, each
one having a different range.
29. MOTION SENSORS
• The Android platform provides several sensors that let
you monitor the motion of a device.
• Two of these sensors are always hardware-based (the
accelerometer and gyroscope), and three of these
sensors can be either hardware-based or software-
based (the gravity, linear acceleration, and rotation
vector sensors).
31. USING THE ACCELEROMETER
• An acceleration sensor measures the acceleration
applied to the device, including the force of gravity.
• The following code shows you how to get an instance
of the default acceleration sensor:
private SensorManager mSensorManager;
private Sensor mSensor;
...
mSensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE);
mSensor = mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER);
32. ACCELEROMETER++
• Conceptually, an acceleration sensor determines the
acceleration that is applied to a device (Ad) by
measuring the forces that are applied to the sensor
itself (Fs) using the following relationship:
• Ad = - ∑Fs / mass
• However, the force of gravity is always influencing the
measured acceleration according to the following
relationship:
• Ad = -g - ∑F / mass
33. ACCELEROMETER += 1
• For this reason, when the device is sitting on a table (and not
accelerating), the accelerometer reads a magnitude of g = 9.81
m/s2.
• Similarly, when the device is in free fall and therefore rapidly
accelerating toward the ground at 9.81 m/s2, its accelerometer
reads a magnitude of g = 0 m/s2.
• Therefore, to measure the real acceleration of the device, the
contribution of the force of gravity must be removed from the
accelerometer data.
• This can be achieved by applying a high-pass filter.
• Conversely, a low-pass filter can be used to isolate the force of
gravity.
34. LOW PASS FILTER APPLIED
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event){
// In this example, alpha is calculated as t / (t + dT),
// where t is the low-pass filter's time-constant and
// dT is the event delivery rate.
final float alpha = 0.8;
// Isolate the force of gravity with the low-pass filter.
gravity[0] = alpha * gravity[0] + (1 - alpha) * event.values[0];
gravity[1] = alpha * gravity[1] + (1 - alpha) * event.values[1];
gravity[2] = alpha * gravity[2] + (1 - alpha) * event.values[2];
// Remove the gravity contribution with the high-pass filter.
linear_acceleration[0] = event.values[0] - gravity[0];
linear_acceleration[1] = event.values[1] - gravity[1];
linear_acceleration[2] = event.values[2] - gravity[2];
}
35. ENVIRONMENTAL SENSORS
• The Android platform provides four sensors that let you monitor
various environmental properties.
• You can use these sensors to monitor relative ambient humidity,
illuminance, ambient pressure, and ambient temperature near an
Android-powered device.
• All four environment sensors are hardware-based and are
available only if a device manufacturer has built them into a
device. With the exception of the light sensor, which most device
manufacturers use to control screen brightness, environment
sensors are not always available on devices.
• Because of this, it's particularly important that you verify at
runtime whether an environment sensor exists before you attempt
to acquire data from it
37. HOW DOES ENVIRONMENTAL
SENSORS DIFFER?
• Unlike most motion sensors and position sensors, which
return a multi-dimensional array of sensor values for each
SensorEvent, environment sensors return a single sensor
value for each data event.
• For example, the temperature in °C or the pressure in hPa.
• Also, unlike motion sensors and position sensors, which
often require high-pass or low-pass filtering, environment
sensors do not typically require any data filtering or data
processing.
38. POSITION SENSORS
• The Android platform provides two sensors that let you determine the
position of a device: the geomagnetic field sensor and the orientation
sensor.
• The Android platform also provides a sensor that lets you determine how
close the face of a device is to an object (known as the proximity sensor).
• The geomagnetic field sensor and the proximity sensor are hardware-
based.
• Most handset and tablet manufacturers include a geomagnetic field
sensor.
• Likewise, handset manufacturers usually include a proximity sensor to
determine when a handset is being held close to a user's face (for
example, during a phone call).
• The orientation sensor is software-based and derives its data from the
accelerometer and the geomagnetic field sensor.
39. POSITION SENSORS
• Magnetic Field
• Orientation
• Proximity
• http://developer.android.
com/guide/topics/sensor
s/sensors_position.html
40. POSITION SENSORS++
• Position sensors are useful for determining a device's physical
position in the world's frame of reference.
• For example, you can use the geomagnetic field sensor in
combination with the accelerometer to determine a device's
position relative to the magnetic North Pole.
• You can also use the orientation sensor (or similar sensor-based
orientation methods) to determine a device's position in your
application's frame of reference.
• Position sensors are not typically used to monitor device
movement or motion, such as shake, tilt, or thrust
45. MONITORING SENSOR
EVENTS
To monitor raw sensor data you need to implement two
callback methods that are exposed through the
SensorEventListener interface:
• onAccuracyChanged()
• onSensorChanged()
46. MONITOR SENSOR
EVENTS
• A sensor's accuracy changes
• In this case the system invokes the onAccuracyChanged()
method, providing you with a reference to the Sensor object that
changed and the new accuracy of the sensor.
• A sensor reports a new value
• In this case the system invokes the onSensorChanged()
method, providing you with a SensorEvent object. A
SensorEvent object contains information about the new sensor
data, including: the accuracy of the data, the sensor that
generated the data, the timestamp at which the data was
generated, and the new data that the sensor recorded.
