Roadmap for Research in Machine Olfaction Conclusion
.
Human Olfaction The olfactory region is located in the roof of the two nasal cavities when compounds (called odorants)) that are carried by odorants inhaled air stimulate receptors located in the olfactory epithelium. The mucous lipid , which is pro uce n e o ac ory epithelium,, assists in epithelium transporting the odorant molecules. Only volatile materials that are soluble in the mucous can interact with the olfactory recep ors an pro uces e signals that our brain interprets as odor.
Machine Olfaction Attempts to mimic mimic human senses senses of smell and taste by electronic means are called machine Olfaction. Sensors are the most crucial components in a machine olfaction system. Signal conditioning, data acquisition, data, data processing and pattern recognition are the crucial modules of an olfactory sensing .

About Electronic Nose Electronic Nose senses complex odours using an Array of Sensors (called “sensor array”): each tuned for o our o a am y o vo at e compoun s. Odour stimulus imprints a characteristic electronic . This smell print is statistically classified and resolved with suitable attern reco nition en ine as a measurement of odour of the sample. In short, Electronic Nose is “A scientific, reliable, repeatable, physical, non-invasive, affordable real-time techniques for various applications like food quality assessment, environmental polution detection, medical applications, explosive detection etc.

Desirable Properties of Selectivity : Must respond to a range of chemical
species. Sensitivity : Should be sensitive to detect vapour
. Speed of Response : Response time should be in . Reproducibility : Sensors response characteristics should be reproducible. Reversibility : Should be able to recover immediately after exposure to gas. Portability : Should be small so that less sample volume may be used.
Interface Circuit Diagram
Each sesnsor is a MOS sensor made from a metal oxide film, e.g., Tin Oxide Volatiles under o redox reactions at the sensor surface, resulting in a chan e of conductivit across the sensor Each sensor is reversible.

within TTL range.
Signal Conditioning The output of the sensors is analogue voltage. stages,namely,buffering,amplification,filtering,co the USB card used in the system for data acquisition. No additional electronics has been used for this purpose
Data Acquisition Circuit USB 6009 card from the National Instruments has been used. DAQ system consists of sample and , to digital conversion module. Sample rate :250 Ksamples/second
Signal Pre-processing Steps of Signal Pre-processing: Baseline identification and mani ulation Compression
Baseline Handling Baseline refers to sensor response in no exposure condition Fractional techni ue of baseline manipulation is used for compensation a ainst drift and contrast enhancement.

Compression Technique Compression is a preprocessing stage where the response of sensor array is uti ize as a eature vector or a fingerprint by reducing the number of escriptors. The maximum value vector from the sensor output data has only been considered for data analysis. =
