Abstract

Dynamic measurement sets out to measure the variations in the values of a quantity over time [14]. It covers a wide application area, since it is very common that a quantity varies over time: examples are vibration, sound and electromagnetic radiations. Examples of application areas include the monitoring of continuous industrial processes, the sensing function in automatic control, vehicles guidance, experimental biomechanics, psychophysics and perception.

Notes

  1. 1.

    An internal model is one in which (internal) state variables appear in addition to input/output variables that solely appear in input–output models.

  2. 2.

    It was acquired in the 1980s as a part of a collaboration of our Measurement Laboratory with Politecnico di Milano and ENEL (the Italian National Energy Board) [17].
