    L1 Unit1 Basics of Smart Sensors 3AUG22

    Uploaded by

    Sahil Khan
    This document provides information about smart sensors and the basics of sensing. It discusses: 1) How sensors work by collecting information about the environment and converting it into a quantitative measurement using various transduction principles such as temperature-to-resistance. 2) Examples of sensor modalities including vision, hearing, and chemical analysis that can detect properties beyond the typical human senses. 3) The basics of smart sensors, which are sensors that have additional processing, storage, and communication capabilities that allow them to compensate for drift over time and adapt to changing conditions without needing to be near other devices.

    Smart Sensors – Unit 1_1


    SYLLABUS
    SENSING
    • Collect information about the world
    • Sensor - an electrical / mechanical / chemical
    device that maps an environmental attribute
    to a quantitative measurement
    • Each sensor is based on a transduction
    principle - conversion of energy from one
    form to another
    TRANSDUCTION TO ELECTRONICS
    • Thermistor: temperature-to-resistance
    • Electrochemical: chemistry-to-voltage
    • Photocurrent: light intensity-to-current
    • Pyroelectric: thermal radiation-to-voltage
    • Humidity: humidity-to-capacitance
    • Length (LVDT: Linear variable differential
    transformers) : position-to-inductance
    • Microphone: sound pressure-to-<anything>
    EXTENDED RANGES AND MODALITIES
    • Vision outside the RGB spectrum
    – Infrared Camera, see at night
    • Active vision
    – Radar and optical (laser) range measurement
    • Hearing outside the 20 Hz – 20 kHz range
    – Ultrasonic range measurement
    • Chemical analysis beyond taste and smell
    • Radiation: a, b, g-rays, neutrons, etc
    Electromagnetic Spectrum
    Visible Spectrum

    BASICS OF SMART SENSORS

    • The Sensors are devices that responds to a physical


    stimulus heat, light, sound, pressure, magnetism,
    motion, etc , and convert that into an electrical signal.
    • They perform an input function.
    • The Devices which perform an output function are
    generally called Actuators and are used to control.
    some external device, for example movement.
    • Both sensors and actuators are collectively known as
    Transducers. Transducers are devices used to convert
    energy of one kind into energy of another kind.
    SMART SENSOR
    SMART VS. CONVENTIONAL SENSORS _1

    • These are not perfect.


    • Their properties may change over time, this
    phenomenon is called drift
    • Poor adaptation to change in conditions, ie. no
    intelligence
    • Most sensors require some signal conditioning
    circuitry
    • Standard sensors usually need to be physically
    close to the control and monitoring systems.
    SMART VS. CONVENTIONAL SENSORS _2

    • Quantities that are recognized only by human


    sensory systems and are not clearly defined
    cannot be sensed by simple present sensors.
    Eg. Odour and taste
    • Sensing of multidimensional states is difficult.
