- 兼容主流模型,适合工业级电子鼻系统部署应用。
电子鼻系统在开放集气体识别中面临两大相互关联的挑战:信号漂移引起的特征分布偏移,以及未知气体干扰导致的决策边界失效。现有方法多依赖欧氏距离或传统分类器,未能考虑特征分布的各向异性及动态信号强度变化。为此,本文提出球面归一化耦合马氏距离(SNM)模块,作为通用的后处理模块用于开放集气体识别。首先,通过级联批归一化与L2归一化将特征投影至单位超球面,消除信号强度波动;其次,利用马氏距离构建符合各向异性特征几何结构的自适应椭球形决策边界。该模块与主流骨干网络(如CNN、RNN、Transformer)解耦,可无缝集成。在公开数据集Vergara上的实验表明,Transformer+SNM配置在区分多种目标气体时接近理论极限性能,AUROC达0.9977,5%误报率下未知气体检测率达99.57%,较当前最优方法(CAC)提升3.0% AUROC,标准差降低91.0%。模块在五个传感器位置均保持优异鲁棒性,标准差低于0.0028。本工作有效解决了开放集气体识别中高精度与高稳定性并重的关键难题,为工业电子鼻部署提供有力支持。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Electronic nose (E-nose) systems face two interconnected challenges in open-set gas recognition: feature distribution shift caused by signal drift and decision boundary failure induced by unknown gas interference. Existing methods predominantly rely on Euclidean distance or conventional classifiers, failing to account for anisotropic feature distributions and dynamic signal intensity variations. To address these issues, this study proposes the Spherical Normalization coupled Mahalanobis (SNM) module, a universal post-processing module for open-set gas recognition. First, it achieves geometric decoupling through cascaded batch and L2 normalization, projecting features onto a unit hypersphere to eliminate signal intensity fluctuations. Second, it utilizes Mahalanobis distance to construct adaptive ellipsoidal decision boundaries that conform to the anisotropic feature geometry. The architecture-agnostic SNM-Module seamlessly integrates with mainstream backbones including Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and Transformer. Experiments on the public Vergara dataset demonstrate that the Transformer+SNM configuration achieves near-theoretical-limit performance in discriminating among multiple target gases, with an AUROC of 0.9977 and an unknown gas detection rate of 99.57% at 5% false positive rate, significantly outperforming state-of-the-art methods with a 3.0% AUROC improvement and 91.0% standard deviation reduction compared to Class Anchor Clustering (CAC). The module maintains exceptional robustness across five sensor positions, with standard deviations below 0.0028. This work effectively addresses the critical challenge of simultaneously achieving high accuracy and high stability in open-set gas recognition, providing solid support for industrial E-nose deployment.
