Intelligent thermal image-based sensor for affordable measurement of crop canopy temperature

Nano-CMOS thermal sensor design optimization for efficient temperature measurement

We present a novel and efficient thermal sensor design methodology. The growing demand for power management on VLSI systems drives the need for accurate thermal sensors. Conventional design techniques for on-chip thermal sensors in nanometer technologies consume expensive design iterations and result in increased power consumption and area overhead. Power-efficient, high-sensitivity thermal sen...

Biophysically-Based Measurement of Plant Water Status Using Canopy Temperature

In situ optical meters are widely used to estimate leaf chlorophyll concentration, but non-uniform chlorophyll distribution causes the opticalmeasurement to vary widely among species for the same chlorophyllconcentration. Over 30 studies have sought to quantify the in situ/in vitro (optical/absolute) relationship, but neither chlorophyll extraction normeasurement techniques for ...

Estimation of supper limit canopy to air temperature differential for sugarbeet using indirect measurement of turgor potential

Intelligent neonatal monitoring based on a virtual thermal sensor

BACKGROUND Temperature measurement is a vital part of daily neonatal care. Accurate measurements are important for detecting deviations from normal values for both optimal incubator and radiant warmer functioning. The purpose of monitoring the temperature is to maintain the infant in a thermoneutral environmental zone. This physiological zone is defined as the narrow range of environmental temp...
