Sensors are the physical transducers by means of which specific environmental attributes are converted into information, usually in the form of a quantitative, electronic signals. The principal indices of sensor performance are its spatial resolution, or accuracy, and its ability to discriminate between the object's signal and random variations in the object, a threshold called the signal-tonoise ratio (SNR). Overall performance is a compromise between resolution and area covered.
