Chemosensory adaptation in an electronic nose Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • 2001 IEEE. This article presents a computational mechanism inspired by the process of chemosensory adaptation in the mammalian olfactory system. The algorithm operates on multiple subsets of the sensory space, generating a family of discriminant functions for different volatile compounds. A set of selectivity coefficients is associated to each discriminant function on the basis of its behavior in the presence of mixtures. These coefficients are employed to form a weighted average of the discriminant functions and establish a feedback signal that reduces the contribution of certain sensory inputs, inhibiting the overall selectivity of the system to previously detected analytes. The algorithm is validated on a database of organic solvents using an array of temperature-modulated metal-oxide chemoresistors.
