Environmental sensing: strategies, technologies and applications
Robert BogueThe purpose of this paper is to provide a review of environmental sensing technologies and applications and to consider briefly the research effort.
Modelling climate change on a million home computers
Christine ConnollyThe purpose of this paper is to describe a climate modelling experiment that takes advantage of the spare capacity of home computers to extend computational resources.
Oil exploration in challenging environments
Christine ConnollyThe purpose of this paper is to examine the technologies currently used in geological exploration for oil and gas.
Gas sensing and particle detection
Christine ConnollyThe purpose of this paper is to explore various techniques for detecting gases and particles, with particular application to environmental measurements.
Automatic digital terrain model generation using Cartosat‐1 stereo images
Marco GianinettoCartosat‐1 is the first Indian Remote Sensing satellite, developed for topographic mapping, able to collect in‐track high‐resolution stereo images with a 2.5 m pixel size. In the…
Sensing in nature: using biomimetics for design of sensors
Torben Lenau, Hyunmin Cheong, Li ShuThe purpose of this paper is to illustrate how biomimetics can be applied in sensor design. Biomimetics is an engineering discipline that uses nature as an inspiration source for…
Noise modelling of improved detection scheme for displacement optic sensors
N.N. PuscasThe purpose of this paper is to propose modelling of the noise of an improved method for the measurement of small displacement and vibrations. It is based on a novel method for…
Design and optimization of eddy current sensor for instrumented pipeline inspection gauge
Rajesh Keshwani, Shiben BhattacharyaThe purpose of this paper is to introduce an in line non‐destructive inspection tool instrumented pipeline inspection gauge (IPIG) and the need for secondary sensors in it; and to…
A self‐healing mobile wireless sensor network using predictive reasoning
Matthew Coles, Djamel Azzi, Barry HaynesThe paper aims to investigate performance benefits associated with adopting a mobile wireless sensor network (WSN). Sensor nodes are generally energy constrained due to the latter…
A paradigm shift for inspection: complementing traditional CMM with DSSP innovation
Alberto F. GriffaAdvances in non‐contact measurement technology, processes and techniques have created momentum in the application of digital shape sampling and processing (DSSP) for driving a…
