Fiber optic sensing solutions utilize the light medium as the physical source to detect variations in temperature, acoustics, strain, and vibrational parameters. Fiber optic sensing uses an optical fiber cable as the sensor device to create a continuous point of sensing along the fiber cable. This method of sensing is known as distributed fiber opt...

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is concerned with continuous monitoring of civil and industrial buildings or structures in order to improve human safety and decrease maintenance costs. The SHM scheme provides data about changes induced by aging products, environmental action, or accidental occurrences in a single portion or in the entire structu...

Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology in imaging applications is relying on sensor technologies and software algorithms. SLAM allows autonomous systems such as self-driving cars, robots, and drones to simultaneously build a map of their surroundings, navigate, operate effectively, and estimate their position on that map. It levera...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is witnessing a large-scale realization with the growing importance of sensor technologies in healthcare and the increasing consumer demand for non-invasive and continuous monitoring of health parameters. Connected networks are enabling ease of diagnosis in healthcare thereby creating a shift from reactive treatments to...

Sensors are vital enablers of the Internet of Things (IoT), allowing a plethora of automated, connected devices that provide continuous feedback about their and can be remotely controlled. Sensors that are able to perform some processing and analysis on a wealth of data to provide the most important information with respect to their surroundings or...
