Geosensors vs App4SHM

The Geosensors app is the companion to the Geosensors Logger hardware that together make up a powerful geophysical surveying tool. The logger connects to an electromagnetic sensor and an external GPS device in order to provide all the information necessary to carry out a successful geophysical survey. The app connects to the logger via WiFi and allows a surveyor to monitor live data from the EM sensor, set-up and record a new survey, transfer completed survey data to the app, view the summary details and then email the data for further processing on a desktop computer. Note that to get the best use out of this app, it must be connected to a Geosensors Logger. Please contact us if you need to purchase a logger and/or EM sensor. Features: - Connect to a Geosensors Logger via WiFi - View EM and GPS data as it is being recorded to the logger. GPS data is shown on the map. - View auxiliary data from the EM sensor such as battery level, tilt and rotation angles and temperature. - Resume incomplete surveys - Use the terminal to modify internal EM sensor configuration settings - Modify the logger configuration settings such as sensor baud rates, device name, WiFi security - Download previous surveys from the logger to the app. Downloaded surveys can reviewed in app and then emailed as an attachment

App4SHM is a smartphone application for structural health monitoring (SHM) of bridges or other civil structures to assess their condition after a catastrophic event or when required by authorities and stakeholders. The application interrogates the phone’s internal accelerometer to measure structural accelerations and applies artificial intelligence techniques to detect damage in almost real time. App4SHM resulted from academic research developed at Lusófona University, in particular the Civil Research Group and the Department of Computer Engineering and Information Systems.
