Generator for modular virtual sensors
Burkhard Hensel, Klaus Kabitzsch · 2016
Virtual sensors are “software simulations” of real sensors based on measurements of other sensors and a model. This paper presents a new design software which supports the creation and parametrization of modular virtual sensors, i.e. virtual sensors consisting of several “subsystems”. The workflow, the core concepts, the plug-in interfaces for user-specific extensions, and an example are presented. The main highlights of the proposed software are the possibilities to automatically invert (sub)systems-allowing efficient parameter estimation-, and to automatically generate several proposals for virtual sensors out of a larger physical model.
