The data in the test sample library is sent to the trained suitability level prediction model to determine whether the worker's facial shape information matches the respiratory equipment.
[0039] In order to solve the problems of difficulty in setting up, low efficiency and high cost of the fit test equipment for the close-fitting respiratory protective equipment of relevant workers, the present application provides a non-invasive fit test method for the close-fitting respiratory protective equipment. Specifically: first, the head and face data of the workers are collected, and combined with the data of the close-fitting respiratory protective equipment they wear, the fit level data is determined by determining the test action for the fit data collection, and a training sample library for the fit test is constructed; secondly, a weighted fit level prediction model is designed, and model training is performed on the basis of the above-constructed fit test training sample library; finally, a test sample library is constructed for a given unknown worker and close-fitting respiratory protective equipment with different parameters and test actions, and the data in the test sample library are used to identify the fit level test results according to the trained fit level prediction model to determine whether the worker's facial information matches the respiratory equipment.

[0041] In one embodiment, constructing a fitness test training sample library specifically includes:
[0042] Collect data on the head and face of the workers and the tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment they wear. Head and face data include: face length, face width, tragus-to-nasal root length, forehead arc length between tragus points, subnasal arc length between tragus points, jaw arc length between tragus points, nose width, and nose height.

Actions to determine suitability for data collection include: normal breathing, deep breathing, turning the head left and right, raising and lowering the head, speaking, and bending over.
[0043] According to the standards of quantitative fitness test, fitness level data is measured under different test actions, so as to construct a training sample library for fitness test.
[0044] In this embodiment, the construction of the fitness test training sample library consists of three parts. The first is to collect the head and face data of the workers and the data of the tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment they wear, wherein: the head and face data include: morphological face length, face width, tragus and nasal root length, forehead arc length between tragus points, subnasal arc length between tragus points, jaw arc length between tragus points, nose width, and nose height; the tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment data include: length, width, nose clip length / arc length, and ear (head) strap length. The second is to determine the test actions for fitness data collection, including: normal breathing, deep breathing, turning the head left and right, raising and lowering the head, speaking, and bending over. The third is to measure the fitness level data under different test actions according to the standards of quantitative fitness test, thereby constructing a training sample library for fitness test.
[0045] In this embodiment, the fitness test training sample library is composed of three parts: collecting the head and face data of the workers and the data of the tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment they wear, determining the inspection action for collecting the fitness data, and measuring the fitness level data. Collecting the head and face data of the workers and the data of the tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment they wear is the prerequisite for constructing the fitness test training sample library; determining the inspection action for collecting the fitness data is to set specific different inspection actions based on the type of tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment, and under this inspection action, obtain the fitness level data based on the measured fitness level data, and finally form the training sample library.
[0046] This example collects comprehensive head and face data and close-fitting respiratory protective equipment data, establishes a variety of testing actions, and performs data collection and measurement in accordance with relevant standards. The resulting fit-testing training sample library is comprehensive, dynamic, standardized, and reliable. This not only improves the model's performance and generalization capabilities, but also significantly enhances the practical application value of fit-testing, effectively ensuring workers' respiratory safety.
[0047] In one embodiment, the training process of the fitness level prediction model includes:
[0048] Training data is selected from the fit test training sample library to ensure that the training data covers head and facial data of different types of workers and data on tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment. The data selection principles are: diversified test actions and evenly distributed numbers; the training data size falls within the preset range to ensure the effectiveness of model training;
[0049] The selected training data are normalized and clustered into several groups of training data; for different groups, multiple suitability level prediction model trainings are carried out respectively.
[0050] In one embodiment, the training data is normalized using L2 norm, and the normalized data is divided into several groups using K-means clustering method.
[0051] In one embodiment, the fitness level prediction model is a support vector regression model, a random forest model, a K-nearest neighbor algorithm, an artificial neural network model, etc.
[0052] In this embodiment, the weighted fitness level prediction model consists of two parts. The first part is to select model training data based on samples in the fitness test training sample library. The principle is to ensure that the types of the above-mentioned tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment are diverse, and the number of samples under different test actions is evenly distributed; the second part is to use the L2 norm to normalize the data required for the above-mentioned modeling, and use the K-means method to cluster it and divide it into several groups; for different groups, multiple fitness level prediction model trainings are carried out respectively.
[0053] The training data selection utilizes data selection in the construction of the training set, following the above-mentioned head and facial data of different types of workers and different types of tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment, so that the inspection actions for suitability data collection are diversified, the number is evenly distributed, and the basic principle that the scale of the selected model training data is above a certain range is met; the suitability level prediction model training is carried out on the basis of the model training data selection, firstly, the L2 norm is used to normalize the data required for the above-mentioned modeling, and the K-means method is used to cluster it and divide it into several groups. For different groups, multiple suitability level prediction model trainings are carried out respectively, where the suitability level prediction model can be a support vector regression model, a random forest model, a K nearest neighbor algorithm, an artificial neural network model, etc.
[0054] Through the above steps, this embodiment can effectively train a fitness level prediction model, ensuring that the model has good generalization ability and prediction performance, thereby providing reliable technical support for the fitness testing of tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment.
[0055] In one embodiment, the testing process of the fitness level prediction model includes:
[0056] The given unknown worker's facial data, the data of the tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment with different parameters, and the test actions are constructed into a test sample library. The test sample library is sent to multiple fitness level prediction training models to obtain the prediction results under multiple different fitness test models, and the prediction results are ranked.
[0057] Perform weighted calculation based on the sorting results and output the prediction results, that is, calculate the RMSE weight of each model and output the final prediction results.
[0058] In this embodiment, the output of the test results of the suitability level is to use the trained model to send the given unknown workers and the tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment with different parameters and the test actions into the aforementioned multiple suitability level prediction training models to obtain the prediction results under multiple different suitability test models, and sort the results. The weighted calculation is performed based on the sorting results, that is, the RMSE weight of each model is calculated; for the sample to be predicted, the prediction results of multiple models are combined with the weight of each model to calculate and output the final prediction result.
[0059] The fitness level test consists of two parts: fitness prediction under multiple different fitness test models and weighted calculation output prediction results. Fitness prediction under multiple different fitness test models is done by using a trained model. The given unknown worker and the tight-fitting respiratory protective equipment with different parameters and the test actions are fed into the aforementioned multiple fitness level prediction training models to obtain the prediction results under the multiple different fitness test models and sort the results. The weighted calculation output prediction results is based on the above sorting results. That is, the RMSE weight of each model is calculated. For the sample to be predicted, the prediction results of multiple models are combined with the weight of each model to calculate and output the final prediction result.
[0060] Through the above steps, this embodiment can effectively perform a test on the suitability level and ensure that the prediction results have good accuracy and stability.
