Artificial Human Sensors: Science and Applications

“This book represents a thought-provoking overview of the intriguing field of machine sensing and perception based on an ever-evolving human-instrument partnership. It discusses new intelligent technologies that enhance the natural sensing, perception, and mobility abilities of humans, allowing them to have a healthier, more productive, safer and overall better life.”
― Prof. Emil Petriu, University of Ottawa, Canada

This can also be extended from a personal level into a global view, where a group of people can increase their information level (e.g., earthquake or tsunami warning systems). This book aims to involve human-related (based) and artificial sensing in coherence with human perception capabilities (auditory, taste, smell, vision and touch). Also, the fusion of these sensing information will be discussed. For example, how do we increase our human “fuzzy” decision capability (perception) e.g. the field of culinary art, the atmosphere in the dining room is also affecting the perception of tasting the food.
