Roadmap on Signal Processing for Next Generation Measurement Systems
It offers guidance to researchers and funding agencies in identifying new prospects for advancing sensor-enabled systems, but it is incremental as it primarily reviews existing trends.
The paper provides a critical overview of state-of-the-art signal processing methods and applications, highlighting future challenges and research opportunities for next-generation measurement systems across various scientific and industrial fields.
Signal processing is a fundamental component of almost any sensor-enabled system, with a wide range of applications across different scientific disciplines. Time series data, images, and video sequences comprise representative forms of signals that can be enhanced and analysed for information extraction and quantification. The recent advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning are shifting the research attention towards intelligent, data-driven, signal processing. This roadmap presents a critical overview of the state-of-the-art methods and applications aiming to highlight future challenges and research opportunities towards next generation measurement systems. It covers a broad spectrum of topics ranging from basic to industrial research, organized in concise thematic sections that reflect the trends and the impacts of current and future developments per research field. Furthermore, it offers guidance to researchers and funding agencies in identifying new prospects.
