The field of Instrumentation and Measurement (I&M) is constantly and rapidly changing. These changes manifest themselves as evolutions of technologies and techniques but also as innovations. They come from the technical creativity of people in this field and also from advances in other fields. Conversely, advances in I&M also lead to advances in other fields. Given this two-way relationship, while it is impossible to know the future, we can look at emerging trends across different technological fields and application realms and begin to predict what trends may be at the forefront of I&M over the next five years. These trends can be examined as Trends of Choice and Trends of Consequence (Fig. 1).

I&M 的未来趋势

仪器仪表和测量 (I&M) 领域一直在快速变化。这些变化表现为技术和技术的演变，但也表现为创新。它们来自该领域人们的技术创造力，也来自其他领域的进步。相反，I&M 的进步也会导致其他领域的进步。鉴于这种双向关系，虽然无法预知未来，但我们可以着眼于不同技术领域和应用领域的新兴趋势，并开始预测未来五年可能处于 I&M 前沿的趋势。这些趋势可以作为选择趋势和结果趋势进行检查（图 1）。
