Description

High-performance gas classification artificial intelligence system and gas classification method using the same

[0001] The present invention relates to gas classification, and more particularly, to a high-performance gas classification artificial intelligence system and a gas classification method using the same.

[0002] Recently, cases of exposure to toxic gases such as sulfuric acid and carbon monoxide have been rapidly increasing, not only in various industrial settings such as factories and laboratories, but also at fire scenes and in homes. Exposure to these odorless, flammable, and carcinogenic gases can cause illness or death, making it essential to install real-time detection systems capable of detecting and warning of these gases.

[0003] Gas detection systems rely on gas classification technology to accurately detect specific gases. Semiconductor-based micro gas sensors, which feature high discrimination power, high sensitivity, temperature control, on-chip integration, and the ability to detect a wide range of gases, are utilized for gas classification. Semiconductor-based gas sensors output electrical signals when exposed to specific gases, enabling gas classification by identifying the unique electrical signal characteristics of each gas. However, gas sensors age due to changes in time, humidity, temperature, and overexposure to specific gases. This can lead to the detection of the same gas as a different gas, even in the same environment. Therefore, efforts to apply machine learning to gas sensors to classify gases have been ongoing. However, real-world environments often involve a mixture of multiple gases, creating a need for devices and methods that can accurately classify not only single gases but also mixed gases.

[0081] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, the concept of the present invention and embodiments thereof will be described in detail.

[0082]

[0083] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a high-performance gas classification artificial intelligence system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0084] A high-performance gas classification artificial intelligence system (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a gas sensor (110), a customer terminal (140), and a gas classification server (120).

[0085] The gas sensor (110), customer terminal (140), and gas classification server (120) can be connected to each other through a network (130).

[0086] The gas sensor (110) in the present invention may be composed of one or more gas sensors, and may be a sensor with an IoT function capable of transmitting sensing data to a receiving unit (121) of a gas classification server (120) via a network (130).

[0087] In the present invention, the gas classification server (120) may refer to a group of servers having a communication interface and capable of executing an artificial neural network including machine learning and / or deep learning.

[0088] The gas classification server (120) includes a receiving unit (121), a preprocessing unit (122), and a target gas classification unit (124).

[0089] As illustrated in Fig. 1, the preprocessing unit (122) may include a data processing unit (123).

[0090] The receiver (121) receives gas sensing data from the gas sensor (110).

[0091] As an example, gas sensing data is measured by a gas sensor (110).

[0092] Types of gas sensors include catalytic sensors, thermal conductivity sensors, semiconductor sensors, infrared absorption sensors, electrochemical sensors, and photoionization detection sensors.

[0093] Depending on the type of sensor, the output of sensing data may vary.

[0094] In one embodiment, the sensing data may be acquired by a semiconductor sensor, and the sensing data may be a current signal over time.

[0095] The preprocessing unit (122) preprocesses gas sensing data received from the gas sensor (110).

[0096] As mentioned above, the preprocessing unit (122) is configured to include a data processing unit (123).

[0097] In addition, the data processing unit (123) includes a feature value extraction unit and a feature variable extraction unit, although not shown in FIG. 1.

[0098] The feature value extraction unit extracts slope and curvature values ​​at multiple points from the feature curve data.

[0099] The feature variable extraction unit extracts feature variables related to at least one adsorption and desorption of the target gas from the slope and curvature values.

[0100] When the gas sensing data is a current signal, the data processing unit (123) derives first-order differential data and second-order differential data with respect to time of the current signal, and produces processed data using the first-order differential data and second-order differential data.

[0101] The processed data is characteristic curve data calculated using the first-order differential data as the X-axis and the second-order differential data as the Y-axis. The characteristic curve is examined in detail using Figures 3a to 3c.

[0102] The present invention is characterized in that it processes gas sensing data into characteristic curve data expressed as 'first-order differential data' and 'second-order differential data' and connects this to machine learning to perform accurate gas classification.

[0103] In conventional gas classification devices using machine learning, analysis was performed using the gas sensing data itself, but the present invention is different in that it processes the gas sensing data into characteristic curve data expressed as 'first-order differential data' and 'second-order differential data' and connects this to machine learning to perform gas classification.

[0104] The target gas classification unit (124) inputs gas sensing data into an artificial neural network-based gas classification model to classify the type and concentration of the target gas.

[0105] The gas classification model according to an embodiment of the present invention is an artificial neural network-based model, and can be prepared in advance by learning with learning data for classifying the type and concentration of target gas.

[0106] In the present invention, the learning data input to the gas classification model of the artificial neural network is the output of the data processing unit (123).

[0107] More specifically, the learning data may be characteristic curve data expressed as ‘first-order differential data’ and ‘second-order differential data’ as output of the data processing unit (123).

[0108] As another example, the learning data may be feature variables related to adsorption and desorption as output of the feature variable extraction unit of the data processing unit (123).

[0109] In an embodiment where the characteristic curve data is learning data, the target gas classification unit (124) performs classification of the type and concentration of the target gas using the characteristic curve data as input to the gas classification model.

[0110] In an embodiment where feature variables related to adsorption and desorption of a target gas are learning data, the target gas classification unit (124) performs classification of the type and concentration of the target gas by using feature variables related to adsorption and desorption of the target gas as input to a gas classification model.

[0111] The target gas classification unit (124) learns gas sensing data as learning data to establish an artificial neural network-based gas classification model, and the learning method may be based on at least one of supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning.

[0112] Meanwhile, the gas classification model according to the present embodiment may include, but is not limited to, KNN (k-nearest neighborhood), BDT (binary decision tree), MLP (multiple layer perceptron), SVM (support vector machine), RCE (restricted coulomb energy), etc.

[0113] KNN and BDT are primarily applied to linear data. However, as the number of gas sensors increases, data nonlinearity inevitably increases, making them difficult to use in gas applications.

[0114] MLPs can be applied to nonlinear data. However, MLPs not only require long training times, but can also suffer from overfitting, resulting in poor performance. In contrast, SVMs, despite their simple structure, boast high predictive performance and excellent generalization performance. Furthermore, they have been shown to perform best in gas applications.

[0115] MLPs require optimization of network structures such as the number of layers and neurons, while SVMs also require optimization of various learning parameters. Furthermore, both algorithms require complex learning algorithms. In contrast, RCE neural networks have a relatively simple learning method and can dynamically change their network structure based on learning. This allows for learning without any optimization of the network structure. Therefore, compared to MLPs and SVMs, RCE neural networks require relatively short training times, enabling real-time learning. Furthermore, they exhibit high classification performance with low complexity in a variety of fields.

[0116] The RCE neural network is a supervised learning-based algorithm that creates an optimal classifier for each pattern of input data to classify the input feature data.

[0117] The target gas of the present invention may be a single gas or a mixed gas.

[0118] When the target gas is a mixed gas, the target gas classification unit (125) can extract the mixing ratio of gas species for the mixed gas.

[0119] The gas classification server (120) may further include an output unit (not shown). The output unit transmits the type and concentration of the classified target gas to the user terminal (140).

[0120]

[0121] FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of sensing data sensed by a gas sensor according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0122] Sensing data may vary depending on the type of sensor, but an example of sensing data that can be acquired by a semiconductor sensor may be a current signal.

[0123] Figure 2 is an example of sensing data, showing a current signal, and it can be confirmed that it repeats periodically.

[0124]

[0125] FIGS. 3A to 3C are drawings illustrating examples of a processing process of a characteristic curve generated by a data processing unit according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0126] Figures 3a to 3c illustrate characteristic curves representing dynamic responses processed by the data processing unit (124).

[0127] FIG. 3a is a graph of second-order differential data for the current signal sensed by the gas sensor (110) in FIG. 2.

[0128] FIG. 3b is a graph of first-order differential data for the current signal sensed by the gas sensor (110) in FIG. 2.

[0129] The characteristic curve of the present invention is generated using the discrete values ​​of the first-order differential data and the second-order differential data of the sensing data.

[0130] Figure 3c shows the values ​​of the first-order differential data on the X-axis and the second-order differential data on the Y-axis, and shows a characteristic curve in which two circles meet at the origin.

[0131] Based on the distortion direction, degree, and slope of the tangent line at the origin of the two circles of the characteristic curve in Fig. 3c, various features based on the adsorption and desorption principles of each gas are extracted to analyze the dynamic response of the sensing data.

[0132] Although FIG. 3c illustrates an example of a characteristic curve, as an embodiment of the present invention, the data processing unit (124) may be configured to extract various characteristic variables by drawing a surface using first-order differential data and second-order differential data.

[0133]

[0134] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a modeled function of sensing data according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0135] Comparing the modeled function of Fig. 4 with the sensing data of Fig. 2, it can be seen that the modeled function of Fig. 4 is similar to a graph of one period of the sensing data of Fig. 2.

[0136]

[0137] FIG. 5 is a drawing schematically explaining extraction of characteristic values ​​such as slope and curvature values ​​by a modeled characteristic curve according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0138] Figure 5 shows the values ​​of the first-order differential data on the X-axis and the second-order differential data on the Y-axis, and depicts a characteristic curve in which two circles meet at the origin.

[0139] The characteristic value extraction unit of the data processing unit (123) extracts slope and curvature values ​​at multiple points from the characteristic curve data.

[0140] Referring to Fig. 5, the slope can be calculated from two straight lines (510, 520) from the origin.

[0141] The curvature value can be calculated at the inflection points (530 and 540) in Fig. 5.

[0142] The feature variable extraction unit of the data processing unit (123) extracts feature variables related to at least one adsorption and desorption of the target gas from the slope and curvature values.

[0143]

[0144] Figures 6a to 6c are drawings showing changes in characteristic curves according to changes in characteristic parameter values.

[0145] Referring to FIGS. 6a to 6c, it can be seen that the shape of the characteristic curves depicted by the first and second differential data of the sensing data is maintained depending on the value of the characteristic variable, but the degree to which the two circles are distorted, i.e. the slope from the origin, etc., changes.

[0146] That is, it can be seen that the values ​​of the characteristic variables related to at least one adsorption and desorption of the target gas derived from the slope and curvature values ​​are related to the slope and curvature values ​​at multiple points of the characteristic curve data.

[0147]

[0148] Figures 7a and 7b are enlarged views illustrating the transient region of sensing data sensed by a gas sensor.

[0149] The present invention is characterized in that it analyzes dynamic reactions regarding adsorption and desorption between gases.

[0150] Dynamic response is the transient response to the injection of a single gas and / or a mixture of gases.

[0151] Figures 7a and 7b show examples of transient responses under different temperature and humidity conditions.

[0152]

[0153] FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a gas classification method using an artificial intelligence system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0154] A gas classification method using an artificial intelligence system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a gas sensing data receiving step of receiving gas sensing data from a gas sensor by a receiving unit (121) in S810.

[0155] S820 includes a preprocessing step of preprocessing gas sensing data by a preprocessing unit (122). In one embodiment, the gas sensing data may be a current signal over time.

[0156] The preprocessing step of S820 includes a data processing step of deriving first-order differential data and second-order differential data with respect to time of a current signal by a data processing unit (123) of the preprocessing unit, and producing processed data using the first-order differential data and second-order differential data.

As illustrated in Fig. 10, when the preprocessing step according to the present embodiment is applied to actual gas sensing data composed of various combinations of commercial gas sensors (MQ6, MQ7, MQ8, MQ9) and various gases, it can be seen that various dynamic response patterns appear. Therefore, through this, learning data for an artificial neural network-based gas classification model described below can be provided.

[0159] In S830, a target gas classification step is included in which the gas sensing data preprocessed by the target gas classification unit (124) is input into a gas classification model based on an artificial neural network to classify the type and concentration of the target gas.
