Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of E-nose research and technology. We first review the progress of E-noses in applications, systems, and algorithms during the past two decades. Then, we propose to address these key challenges in E-nose, which are sensor induced and sensor specific. This chapter is closed by a statement of the objective of the research, a brief summary of the work, and a general outline of the overall structure of this book.
