Electronic Noses and Applications

Electronic noses are customized devices employed to detect and to identify gaseous mixtures, even to give the concentration of the atmosphere components. Nowadays, the research in this domain is more and more growing, in Europe and other countries in the world, for many applications, such as environmental protection, food industries, perfumery, public safety, medicine, and pharmacy. Electronic ...

Decompositive Classification Models For Electronic Noses

The classification of 242 measurements in 14 classes is attempted using two different classification approaches. Measurements have been performed with a commercial Electronic Nose comprising 11 chemical sensors on extra-virgin olive oils of 14 different geographical provenances. As we deal with a relatively small data set and a big number of classes, the classification task is quite demanding. ...

Electronic Noses for Environmental Monitoring Applications

Electronic nose applications in environmental monitoring are nowadays of great interest, because of the instruments' proven capability of recognizing and discriminating between a variety of different gases and odors using just a small number of sensors. Such applications in the environmental field include analysis of parameters relating to environmental quality, process control, and verificatio...
