  • Multispectral sensor device
    Patent number: 5926282
    Abstract: A multispectral sensor device comprises a plurality of optoelectrical conters. Each optoelectrical converter generates wavelength selectively from an optical signal an electrical measurement signal in a respective measurement channel. A processing circuit processes the generated electrical measurement signals to the respective measurement signal values. A fuzzy logic circuit performs a comparison of the generated measurement signal values with reference values and, on the basis of the comparison, assigns the measurement signal values to a number of channels, this number exceeding the number of measurement channels.
