MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Industrial Experience

• Introduction to sensor fusion for multi-sensor systems and tomography imaging.
• Hard-field tomography: x-ray, gamma-ray, optical and terahertz tomography. Sensing principles. Introduction to algorithms for hard-field reconstruction. Software design. Hardware design: sources, detectors and measurement “train”. State-of-the-art in hard-field process tomography. Multi-sensor, multi-modality approach. 
• Soft-field tomography: electrical impedance and capacitance tomography, electromagnetic tomography. Sensing techniques. Hardware design: sensors, measuring circuits and calibration. Soft-field reconstruction and software design, applications. State-of-the-art in soft-field process tomography. 
• MRI principles, imaging methods and applications. 

The programme unit aims to:

• Introduce students to theoretical and practical fundamentals of signal and data processing for multi-sensor systems, addressing in detail the underlying principles, measurement techniques, image reconstruction and system design the example case of tomography imaging. 
• Introduce students to the various aspects of multi-sensor data fusion for tomography imaging applications: medical, industrial, security. 
• Enable students to undertake simple designs of multi-sensor and tomography imaging systems. 
• Prepare students for Research and Development (R&D), academic or other employment in this area

On successful completion of the course, a student will be able to:

ILO 1: Perform back projection image reconstructions for soft field and hard field.

ILO 2: Perform conceptual designs of simple multi-sensor tomography systems.

ILO 3: Analyse the industrial needs and match them with existing technology; identify the needs for development of new technology and the basic drivers and developments in industrial multi-sensor systems.

ILO 4: Define the inverse problem in a particular imaging scenario as an approach to sensor fusion.

ILO 5: Identify the motivation for multi-sensor fusion and the value of tomography imaging.

ILO 6: Describe the physical and engineering principles of instrumentation for hard-field and soft field imaging.
