Description
Summary:A novel sparse representation classification method (SRC), namly SRC based on Method of Optimal Directions (SRC_MOD), is proposed for electronic nose system in this paper. By finding both a synthesis dictionary and a corresponding coefficient vector, the <i>i</i>-th class training samples are approximated as a linear combination of a few of the dictionary atoms. The optimal solutions of the synthesis dictionary and coefficient vector are found by MOD. Finally, testing samples are identified by evaluating which class causes the least reconstruction error. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on the analysis of hydrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, and benzene at self-adapted modulated operating temperature. Experimental results show that the proposed method is quite efficient and computationally inexpensive to obtain excellent identification for the target gases.
