Abstract
Modern smartphones provide various sensors for measuring physical phenomena in their surroundings. Due to the increased CPU performance and storage space, smartphones become able to process measured data in a more and more complex way. However, different limitations do exist that hamper the usage of smartphones as wirelessly communicating sensor platforms. The research presented in this paper is motivated by a real world application: the measurement of oscillations in the context of building monitoring. We discuss approaches for measuring oscillations using smartphones and analyse their limitations.Keywords
