Intelligent Environmental Sensing

Developing environmental sensing and monitoring technologies become essential especially for industries that may cause severe contamination. Intelligent environmental sensing uses novel sensor techniques, intelligent signal and data processing algorithms, and wireless sensor networks to enhance environmental sensing and monitoring. It finds applications in many environmental problems such as oil and gas, water quality, and agriculture. This book addresses issues related to three main approaches to intelligent environmental sensing and discusses their latest technological developments. Key contents of the book include: Agricultural monitoring Classification, detection, and estimationData fusionGeological monitoringMotor monitoringMulti-sensor systems Oil reservoirs monitoringSensor motesWater quality monitoringWireless sensor network protocol.

Presents recent advances in environmental sensors and sensing techniques Overviews the fast growing sensor development and intelligent techniques for environmental sensing and monitoring useful for e.g. climate change or oil and gas exploration Demonstrates how the sensors can be more sensitive and compact based on improved MEM or NANO technologies, as well as the sensing methods can be improved by using sensor fusion and intelligent systems
