DAQ and data processing is a basic part of all automated production systems, diagnostic systems, watching over quality of production, energy distribution, transport control or in various other areas. Demands on the speed, accuracy and reliability increase in general. It is possible to achieve not only using superior (but also more expensive) hardware, but also applying advanced data acquisition and intelligent data processing. It deals e.g. optimal data fusion of a number of sensors, new stochastic methods for accuracy increasing, new algorithms for acceleration of data processing, etc. These are the grounds for publishing this book. Advanced Data Acquisition and Intelligent Data Processing offers 10 up-to-date examples of different applications of advanced data acquisition and intelligent data processing used in monitoring, measuring and diagnostics systems. The book arose based on the most interesting papers from this area published at IDAACS?2013 conference. However, the indivudual chapters include not only designed solution in wider context but also relevant theoretical parts, achieved results and possible future ways.Technical topics discussed in this book include: • advanced methods of data acquisition in application that are not routine;• measured data fusion using up-to-date advanced data processing;• nonlinear dynamical systems identification;• multidimensional image processing.Advanced Data Acquisition and Intelligent Data Processing is ideal for personnel of firms deals with advanced instrumentation, energy consumption monitoring, environment monitoring, non-descructive diagnostics robotics, etc., as well as academic staff and postgraduate students in electrical, control and computer engineering.Content: 1. Introduction; 2. Waveform acquisition with resolutions exceeding those of the ADC employed; 3. Different Disaggregation Algorithms in Non-Intrusive Home Energy Monitoring Systems; 4. Design and testing of an electronic nose system sensitive to the aroma of truffles; 5. DAQ System for Ultrasonic Transducer Evaluation under Spread Spectrum Excitation; 6. Optimal Data Fusion in Decentralized Stochastic Unknown Input Observers; 7. Odor Classification by Neural Networks; 8. ANFIS Based Approach for Improved Multisensors Signal Processing; 9.

Training Cellular Automata for Hyperspectral Image Segmentation

A smart camera is an integrated machine vision system which, in addition to image capture circuitry, includes a processor, which can extract information from images without need for an external processing unit, and interface devices used to make results available to other devices. This book provides content on smart cameras for an interdisciplinary audience of professionals and students in embedded systems, image processing, and camera technology. It serves as a self-contained, single-source reference for material otherwise found only in sources such as conference proceedings, journal articles, or product data sheets. Coverage includes the 50 year chronology of smart cameras, their technical evolution, the state-of-the art, and numerous applications, such as surveillance and monitoring, robotics, and transportation.

Computers and automation have revolutionized the lives of most people in the last two decades, and terminology such as algorithms, big data and artificial intelligence have become part of our everyday discourse. This book presents the proceedings of CAIBDA 2023, the 3rd International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Algorithms, held from 16 - 18 June 2023 as a hybrid conference in Zhengzhou, China. The conference provided a platform for some 200 participants to discuss the theoretical and computational aspects of research in artificial intelligence, big data and algorithms, reviewing the present status and future perspectives of the field. A total of 362 submissions were received for the conference, of which 148 were accepted following a thorough double-blind peer review. Topics covered at the conference included artificial intelligence tools and applications; intelligent estimation and classification; representation formats for multimedia big data; high-performance computing; and mathematical and computer modeling, among others. The book provides a comprehensive overview of this fascinating field, exploring future scenarios and highlighting areas where new ideas have emerged over recent years. It will be of interest to all those whose work involves artificial intelligence, big data and algorithms.
