Project Details
The key targets of this program are to develop more intelligent methods for real time monitoring of contaminants in underground water at highly contaminated sites; the experimental would be focusing on the heavy metals and corrosions, especially on Pb2+ and Cd2+ for heavy metals, NO3-and PO4- for corrosions, which are toxic contaminations in factory waste and underground water resources. The concentration of the contaminants would also be evaluated using the knowledge of their features produced from individual chemical interactions with the sensor array.

This project will focus on employing artificial intelligent techniques, including Artificial Neural Network, Genetic Algorithm and Fuzzy Logic, to improve the traditional mathematic pattern recognition methods for getting better classification accuracy and reducing the complexity of their algorithms.
