Impact of a Diverse Combination of Metal Oxide Gas Sensors on Machine Learning-Based Gas Recognition in Mixed Gases

Abstract

(X) of a gas sensor for a target gas "X" is introduced to reveal the correlation between the prediction accuracy and selectivity of gas sensors. The presented work suggests that (i) the strong correlation between the selectivity factor and prediction accuracy has a proportional relationship, (ii) the enhancement of the prediction accuracy of an elemental sensor with a low sensitivity factor can be attained by a complementary combination of the other sensor with a high selectivity factor, and (iii) it can also be boosted by combining the sensor having even a low selectivity factor.
