Some sensors used in the electron-
ic nose. These sensors were de-
signed under inspiration from the
receptors in the human nose, but
are incomparably more primitive
than the receptors in the human
nose.

Standard electronic nose
design similar apparatuses and various re-
search and development centers worldwide Chemical sensors
are trying to reproduce the marvelous

scent-perception system in human beings. Data collection
One model developed along these lines is
known as “the electronic nose.”
Instead of the human nose’s receptors,
made of proteins, its electronic equivalents
Model recognition
employ a series of chemical receptors.
(Figure 21) Each of these receptors is de-

signed to detect a specific scent; as their se-
lective capabilities increase, production of
the devices grows more difficult and their
prices rise. The sensors gather signals from
their surroundings, turn them into binary Classification
to computer
codes by means of electronic systems, and
