Abstract :
A brief and historical overview of research and development in the field of artificial neural network based electronic nose system is presented. Electronic-nose devices have received considerable attention in the field of sensor technology during the past twenty years, largely due to the discovery of numerous applications derived from research in diverse fields of applied sciences. Electronic/artificial noses are being developed as systems for the automated detection and classification of odors, vapors, and gases. An electronic nose is generally composed of a chemical sensing system (e.g., sensor array or spectrometer) and a pattern recognition system (e.g., artificial neural network). We are developing electronic noses for the automated identification of volatile chemicals for environmental, medical applications, commercial industries, including the agricultural, biomedical, cosmetics, food, manufacturing, military, pharmaceutical, regulatory applications and various scientific research fields. This paper is a review of the major electronic nose technologies, developed since this specialized field was born and became prominent in the mid 1980s, and a summarization of some of the more important and useful applications that have been of greatest benefit to man.
