This book presents ways of interfacing sensors to the digital world, and discusses the marriage between sensor systems and the IoT: the opportunities and challenges. As sensor output is often affected by noise and interference, the book presents effective schemes for recovering the data from a signal that is buried in noise. It also explores interesting applications in the area of health care, un-obstructive monitoring and the electronic nose and tongue. It is a valuable resource for engineers and scientists in the area of sensors and interfacing wanting to update their knowledge of the latest developments in the field and learn more about sensing applications and challenges.

Discusses various aspects of sensors and intelligent sensing techniques, measurement science and instrumentation techniques Fills a gap in the literature on sensors and sensor interfacing Includes analog and digital signal processing techniques specifically for intelligent sensing applications Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
