About this book
This book covers sensors and multiple sensor systems, including sensor networks and multi-sensor data fusion. It presents the physics and principles of operation and discusses sensor selection, ratings and performance specifications, necessary hardware and software for integration into an engineering system and signal processing and data analysis. Additionally, it discusses parameter estimation, decision making and practical applications. Even though the book has all the features of a course textbook, it also contains a wealth of practical information on the subject.

Role
of
Sensors
and
Sensor
Systems
Sensors
Sensors
(e.g.,
semiconductor
strain
gauges,
tachometers,
RTD
temperature
sensors,
cam-
eras,
piezoelectric
accelerometers)
are
needed
to
measure
(i.e.,
sense)
unknown
signals
and
parameters
of
an
engineering
system
and
its
environment.
Essentially,
sensors
are
needed
to
monitor
and
“learn”
about
the
system
and
possible
interactions
with
its
surroundings.
This
knowledge
will
be
useful
not
only
in
operating
or
controlling
the
system
but
also
for
many
other
purposes
such
as
1.
Process
monitoring
2.
Experimental
modeling
(i.e.,
model
identification)
3.
Product

and

5.

and
