Source Separation in Physical-Chemical Sensing

Master advanced signal processing for enhanced physical and chemical sensors with this essential guide

In many domains (medicine, satellite imaging and remote sensing, food industry, materials science), data are obtained from large set of physical/chemical sensors or sensor arrays. Such sophisticated measurement techniques require advanced and smart processing for extracting useful information from raw sensing data. Usually, sensors are not very selective and record a mixture of the useful latent variables. An innovative technique called Blind Source Separation (BSS) can isolate and retrieve the individual latent variables from a mixed-source data array, allowing for refined analysis that fully exploits these cutting-edged imaging and signal-sensing technologies.

Source Separation in Physical-Chemical Sensing supplies a thorough introduction to the principles of BSS, main methods and algorithms and its potential applications in various domains where data are obtained through physical or chemical sensors. Designed to bridge the gap between chemical/physical analysis and signal processing, it promises to be invaluable in many fields. Its alertness to the latest technologies and the full range of potential BSS applications makes it an indispensable introduction to this cutting-edge method.
