IMU Based Real Time Underground Soil Movement Detection System: An Illustrative Investigation

On the use of IMU (inertial measurement unit) sensors in geomorphology

“…A second group focuses on the development of purposespecific electronics and the development of fully new instrumented particles. Here, the derived measurements, including the dynamics, are used to characterize the initiation of sediment motion across environments (e.g., Valyrakis & Alexakis, 2016;Weerasinghe et al, 2018).…”

Here, the derived measurements, including the dynamics, are used to characterize the initiation of sediment motion across environments (e.g., Valyrakis & Alexakis, 2016; Weerasinghe et al, 2018). Finally, a third group of works implements existing, commercially available, IMUs with minor modifications on the electronics but a strong focus on the physical characteristics of the sensor assembly and the physics of the derived measurements (e.g., Gronz et al, 2016; Maniatis et al, 2017), mainly within the context of studying bedload transport.…”
