Special issue on
Integrated Multisensor
Systems and Signal Processing
Advances in
microfabrication and semiconductor technology have enabled the integration of large numbers of sensors with signal
processing electronics on
the same substrate. This offers
tremendous opportunities
to extend the functionality of a single sensor by incorporating spatial information gained from an array of
these sensors, e.g., to localize and separate
multiple signal sources impinging
on the array. Integrating the signal
processing with the sensing can
have substantial advantages especially when the number of sensors becomes very large, e.g., photosensors on an imager
for motion sensing. At the same time, dense integration of sensors
and their combined
bandwidth pose unique design challenges.
Effects of noise and
mismatch in miniature sensor arrays, aggravated by their shrinking dimensions, must be addressed as well.
This special
issue of the IEEE Sensors Journal calls for original research contributions at the interface between multisensor
arrays and signal
processing. Some applications include:
·
Super-resolution direction finding in sensor arrays
·
Blind source separation
·
Active noise control
·
Gradient sensors
·
Directional microphones
·
Active sonar directional range finders
·
Integrated computational sensors
·
Focal-plane motion sensors
·
Infra-red focal-plane arrays
·
Optical wavefront sensors and actuators
·
Integrated spectrometry
·
Optical coherence tomography
·
Biosensors and micro-fluidics arrays
·
DNA micro-arrays
Papers that
provide experimental results to validate
original contributions are strongly encouraged.
