Sensors and Systems

Catalog description

(3:0) This course introduces sensors and sensing systems, and the acquisition, processing, and interpretation of signals obtained with selected sensors and systems. The course will also cover sensing modalities, signal transmission and reception. Measurement and uncertainty in sensors and systems will be discussed as applied to signal noise and interference. Filtering and estimation will be introduced. Sensing systems for vision, monitoring, and control applications will be surveyed. Sensor interfacing, signal conditioning and transforms will be applied. Other topics include multidimensional signal and image processing, object tracking, multisensor data fusion, applications in environmental monitoring, remote sensing and surveillance.  Offered in alternating Fall semesters.
