Abstract
En 中文
As more sensors are integrated into electronic nose (E-nose) systems to enhance gas detection accuracy, multitasking capabilities, and expand application scenarios, several challenges arise. These challenges include issues such as cross-sensitivity, increased hardware cost, heightened computational complexity, and information redundancy, due to the growing number of sensors in the array. As a result, array optimization plays a crucial role in improving the performance of multisensor systems. In this study, we propose a SHapley & Mutual Information-based Selection (SHMI-Select) method, which provides an interpretable sensor selection strategy for multisensor systems. This strategy initially selects the primary sensor based on interpretability analysis, followed by the identification of a secondary sensor through mutual information among sensors. Additionally, an incremental selection method is introduced to dynamically choose the optimal sensor combination, thereby ensuring system stability and adaptability in various tasks. Through interpretability analysis, our method not only helps to identify key sensors but also optimizes the sensor array combination. Finally, we validate the proposed array optimization method on three distinct E-nose data sets involving human breath, wine quality, and environmental gas. Compared to seven existing algorithms, our method substantially reduces sensor redundancy while boosting performance─achieving 62.5% fewer sensors with 10% accuracy gain on breath data, 83.3% reduction with 18% improvement on wine classification, and 62.5% reduction with a 2% R2 increase on environmental gas. The proposed method has good application value and economic benefits in the industrialization of future E-nose systems.
