Background

The Sensor Fusion App lets you view graphs of the main sensors in real time, except for video, microphones, and radio signals. You can log data to a file or stream it to a computer. The app comes with a MATLAB interface for online processing and filtering for prototyping and demonstrations.

The first versions of the app were developed in collaboration with HiQ, funded by a SAAB award in the name of former CEO Åke Svensson.

The second version, featuring a considerable rewrite and extended functionality and MATLAB support, was developed by Gustaf Hendeby for a lab in the Sensor Fusion course at Linköping University in the spring of 2013.

Pleasant sensor exploration, wishes

Fredrik Gustafsson, Professor in Sensor Informatics, Linköping University.
