Course Description

This lecture introduces basic principles, requirements, and methods of sensor data processing. Since data are more often gathered by networked sensor systems, this lecture places particular emphasis on distributed sensor data fusion methods. We will start by discussing the technical specifications of a sensor system and the basics of digital sensor data processing. Our study includes sampling theorems, compressive sensing, and signal matching. We will consider the required infrastructure to processing sensor data in networked systems, i.e., sensor networks. Based on this infrastructure, we can apply methods for multisensor data fusion to spatially distributed sensors and can monitor spatio-temporal processes. Discussed topics include:

• Signal processing for distributed sensor systems, compressive sensing
• Synchronization and localization
• Distributed estimation and sensing

Learned Competencies

 In this lecture, you will acquire the following competencies:

• You have an overview of basic problems and methods in designing distributed sensor systems and their applications.
• You understand how to process data in a network of sensors, what requirements the infrastructure must meet, and how to model and describe errors like measurement noise.
• You are familiar with the mathematical tools and can apply them.
• You can analyze, compare, and evaluate different approaches to information processing of sensor data.
