Electronic noses are intelligent instruments that are able to classify and quantify different gas/odours. Here we suggest the integration of a small form factor computer inside the electronic nose. This concept allows us to easily provide remote connectivity, large data storage and complex signal processing. The evolution of this technology will permit distributed sensing with applications to agriculture and environment. Proposed instrument allows incoming connections for remote control of bad odours in landfill sites. Preliminary approach to this application using commercial sensors and mixture model pattern recognition scheme is exposed. [less ▲]
