This book is designed to highlight the basic principles of fiber optic imaging and sensing devices. The book provides the readers with a solid foundation in fiber optic imaging and sensing devices. The text begins with an introductory chapter that starts from Maxwell s equations and ends with the derivation of the basic optical fiber characteristic equations and solutions (i.e. fiber modes). Also covered within are reviews of the most common fiber optic interferometric devices which are the basis for many fiber optic imaging and sensing systems. The author discusses the basics of fiber optic imagers with an emphasis on fiber optic confocal microscope. Including chapters on fiber Bragg grating based sensor and various applications and fiber Sagnac loop based sensors. The book also provides useful forms of device characteristic equations.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings at PAKDD Workshops 2017, held in conjunction with PAKDD, the 21st Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining in May 2017 in Jeju, South Korea. The 17 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. The workshops affiliated with PAKDD 2017 include: Workshop on Machine Learning for Sensory Data Analysis (MLSDA), Workshop on Biologically Inspired Data Mining Techniques (BDM), Pacific Asia Workshop on Intelligence and Security Informatics (PAISI), and Workshop on Data Mining in Business Process Management (DM-BPM).
