Plenary lecture 16: environment monitoring based on sensor networks and artificial intelligence
Constantin Voloşencu · 2010
This paper presents some considerations on the applications in environment monitoring based on some concepts as: estimation, fault detection and diagnosis, theory of distributed parameter systems, applied to the physical processes from the environment, artificial intelligence, with its tool adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference and the intelligent wireless ad-hoc sensor networks. The environment may be seen as a complex ensemble of different distributed parameter systems, described with partial differential equations. Sensor networks have large and successful applications in monitoring the environment, they been capable to measure, as a distributed sensor, the physical variables, on a large area, which are characterizing the environment and to communicate at long distance the measured values, form the distributed parameter environmental processes. Using the modern intelligent wireless sensor networks multivariable estimation techniques may be applied in environment monitoring, ting distributed parameter systems. Nbase o these concepts environment monitoring becomes more easily and more performing. The paper presents some applications in environment monitoring, based on artificial intelligence, allowing treatment of the large, complex, non-linear and multivariable system of the environment by learning and extrapolation.
