As a cross-check, the vehicles measure their own movements using accelerometers.
Camcorders use accelerometers for image stabilization.
Still cameras use accelerometers for anti-blur capturing.
It had a true inertial navigation system, which used computer-controlled accelerometers to actually sense the motion of the earth to help improve its accuracy.
The company is even experimenting with using tiny accelerometers to measure whether the phone is going anywhere.
This has been observed using electronic accelerometers.
The signal is measured using condenser microphone elements, piezoelectric sensors, accelerometers, or a combination of sensors attached to the skin.
For example, some vehicles use radar rather than accelerometers to aid in their odometry.
In addition to studies of muscle activity, tremor can be assessed with accuracy using accelerometers .
Some devices have accelerometers built into the unit while others can use external accelerometers.
