Figure 7.15. Acceleration record from Imote2s and reference sensors.<br />

maximum absolute correlation coefficient. Note that the time shift is not restricted to<br />

multiples of the sampling period. The resampling algorithm with linear interpolation<br />

allows noninteger multiple of the sampling period as a time shift. Synchronized signals are<br />

then compared in time and frequency domains.<br />

The measured signals from the Imote2s and PCB accelerometers show reasonable<br />

agreement in the time domain. Figure 7.15 shows a comparison of the four time histories.<br />

Two of them are from Imote2s and the other two are from the PCB accelerometers. The<br />

vertical acceleration signals from Imote2s and PCB accelerometers are almost identical,<br />

indicating high sensing performance of Imote2s. Transverse acceleration, however, is not<br />

as good as the vertical acceleration. Signals from PCB accelerometers and Imote2s have<br />

an observable difference, while signals from the same systems are close to each other.<br />

Longitudinal acceleration shows noticeable differences among the four signals. Here, the<br />

two signals from the PCB accelerometers show differences while the Imote2 signals<br />

appear to be the same. The noise on Imote2 signals specific to each node is considered<br />

small.<br />
