Online Sensor Drift Compensation for E-Nose Systems Using Domain Adaptation and Extreme Learning Machine

Abstract

Sensor drift is a common issue in E-Nose systems and various drift compensation methods have received fruitful results in recent years. Although the accuracy for recognizing diverse gases under drift conditions has been largely enhanced, few of these methods considered online processing scenarios. In this paper, we focus on building online drift compensation model by transforming two domain adaptation based methods into their online learning versions, which allow the recognition models to adapt to the changes of sensor responses in a time-efficient manner without losing the high accuracy. Experimental results using three different settings confirm that the proposed methods save large processing time when compared with their offline versions, and outperform other drift compensation methods in recognition accuracy.

FAIMS analysis of urine gaseous headspace is capable of differentiating ovarian cancer

“…An important topic in future FAIMS research is to examine if cytoreductive surgery and immunosuppressive therapy have influences on VOC emissions of urine samples. FAIMS technology itself has advantages compared to GC-MS-and eNose implications; the technology by nature is sensitive to trace concentrations of molecules, is considerably more economical than MS-based methods, and does not suffer stability problems of other eNose technologies [27]. In contrast to canine studies, FAIMS is standardized and repeatable, whereas it is almost impossible to replicate research settings of canine studies because of variation in dogs.…”

A Spike Time-Dependent Online Learning Algorithm Derived From Biological Olfaction

“…Eight features per chemosensor were recorded in the UCSD dataset, yielding a 128-dimensional feature vector. However, in contrast to previous efforts (Liu et al, 2015; Zhang and Zhang, 2015; Yan et al, 2017; Ma et al, 2018), we chose to use only one feature per sensor in our analysis (the steady state response level), for a total of 16 features. We imposed this restriction to challenge our algorithm, and because generating features from raw data requires additional processing, energy and time, all of which can impair the effectiveness of field-deployable hardware (Yin et al, 2018).…”

Electronic Nose and Its Applications: A Survey

“…A successful strategy was proposed in [244] to overcome the humidity problem through a gas sensor array containing a nano-structured metal-oxides combined with metal-organic framework, with a significantly improved performance on sensor response and detection limit. Humidity remains a challenge in several practical EN applications such as development of mobile robots for gas source localization [245] , detection of respiratory diseases [246] and monitoring environmental pollution [227] .…”
