Giving the Electronic Tongue a Sense of Good Taste
Spring 1999
Project by Hitesh Mehta, hmehta@ece.utexas.edu
and Edward Zhu, ezhu@ece.utexas.edu
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The UT Electrical Engineering Chemistry Departments are jointly developing
a sensor (nicknamed the Electronic Tongue) that can detect the presence
of targeted chemicals. Early experiments have demonstrated the proof-of-concept
for this project; however, the technique employed to produce data from the
sensor is crude and time-consuming. The goal of this project is to automate
and simplify the process for collecting data. This project will employ hardware
and software. Commercial imaging hardware will be purchased and adapted
for this project, while custom software will be written to interface the
hardware and provide a graphical user interface (GUI) for users.
