| - | Using a system of seismometers (or perhaps accelerometers pressed into service as seismometers) that are networked together, it should be possible, with accurate clocks, to analyze input over, say, a 5-second rolling time window for frequency and amplitude to determine the source (epicenter) of the vibration. The time-window and frequency matching helps ensure the observed vibrations are from the same source. | + | Using a system of seismometers (or perhaps accelerometers pressed into service as seismometers) that are networked together, it should be possible, with accurate clocks, to analyze input over, say, a 1-second rolling time window for frequency and amplitude to determine the source (epicenter) of the vibration.

| Amplitude and timing are used to determine distance. Timing is the primary factor for determining distance--assume speed of sound traveling through soft wood (see table below). Amplitude can be used as a sanity check (e.g. the sensor with the greatest amplitude should be closest). | Amplitude and timing are used to determine distance.
