Artificial Human Sensors

The importance of creating sophisticated information support to humans is increasing with the society need for supporting the elderly population with limited sensing performance. This can be seen as a paradigm for increasing the support to different groups in the population as well as a service concept to the citizens. This can also be extended from a personal level to a global level, where people can increase their information level, e.g., earthquake or tsunami warning systems.

This book discusses human and artificial sensing in coherence with the human perception capabilities (auditory, taste, smell, vision, and touch). It also discusses the fusion of this sensing information to find answers to questions such as how we can increase our human “fuzzy” decision capability (perception).
