Using a data preprocessing scheme to recover the dynamic average embedded within the P-Alert data, we adopted an automatic baseline correction approach for the P-Alert accelerograms to determine the coseismic deformation (Cd). Comparisons between the Cd values determined using global positioning system (GPS) data, strong-motion records from the P-Alert network, and data from the Taiwan Strong Motion Instrumentation Program (TSMIP) demonstrates that the near-real-time determination of Cd values (&gt;2 cm), which provide crucial information for seismic hazard mitigation, is possible using records from low-cost MEMS accelerometers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s17112643","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,16]],"date-time":"2017-11-16T11:10:02Z","timestamp":1510830602000},"page":"2643","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["How Well Can We Extract the Permanent Displacement from Low-Cost MEMS Accelerometers?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5080-1071","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jyh","family":"Jan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, National Central University, Jhongli 320, Taiwan"},{"name":"Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taipei 11529, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei-An","family":"Chao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu 30010, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4542-1741","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yih-Min","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taipei 11529, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Geosciences, National Taiwan University, Taipei 10617, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chien-Chih","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, National Central University, Jhongli 320, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cheng-Horng","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taipei 11529, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"59","article-title":"The determination of the residual displacement of the ground from the seismogram","volume":"229","author":"Bogdanov","year":"1976","journal-title":"Rep.
