Document Summary
2:44 pm devices - provide information (e. g. imagers provide visualizations) System design systems - combination of both physical sensors and signal processing techniques. S(cid:455)ste(cid:373)s (cid:272)a(cid:374) sense something about the real world compute something useful communicate relevant information act on the information to change the environment. 3 essential tools for information devices and systems. Measurement: a means of translating this quantity to the electrical domain. Processing: some computation to extract information from the electrical readings. Processes real world subjects through a system of linear equations and matrix analysis. Goal: take a picture of a physical object. Goal: determine the position of 1+ fingers from a user. Real-world gps systems use satellites orbiting around earth at known positions, where the satellites act as speakers and the user is a microphone that detects sound from the speakers. Goal: find user"s location in a broader physical space.
