Sensor Data Collection

Collect sensor data from your device

WithMATLAB^®Mobile™orMATLAB Online™, you can collect sensor and camera data from your iOS device and log the data in MATLAB. Use MATLAB to process this data in various ways, including creating plots, or, for camera data, process the images.

You can collect data from these sensors:

Acceleration
Angular velocity
Magnetic field
Orientation
Position

You can also access the camera and acquire images on your iOS mobile device fromMATLAB MobileorMATLAB Online. You can set camera properties including resolution, autofocus, and flash.

Functions

Featured Examples

Acquire and Plot Angular Velocity and Orientation Data from Your Mobile Device

Android™上的情节来自多个传感器的数据iOS mobile device together in one timeline. Measurements of angular velocity and orientation will be collected from the device and plotted over absolute time. This will allow correlations between data from two sensors to be visualized based on the actual time of measurement.

Acquire GPS Data from Your Mobile Device and Plot Your Location and Speed on a Map

Collect position data from an Android™ or iOS mobile device and display it on a map. Latitude and longitude coordinates are used to mark the device's route. Speed information is used to add color to the route. The final result is a visual representation of location and speed for the device's journey.
