Genetic algorithm based sensor calibration

Abstract

One way to decrease the sensor uncertainties is to use calibration process. In this study the sensor calibration method using the genetic algorithm (GA) based on the corresponding values obtained by the reference standards is developed. As the calibration characteristic, 2^nd order polynomial is used. As an example, GA based calibration of a differential pressure gauge using standard pressure setting devices is examined.

Genetik algoritma ile sensör kalibrasyonu

Öz

Sensörlerin belirsizliğini azaltma yöntemlerinden biri, onların kalibrasyonunun yapılmasıdır. Bu çalışmada referans standartların kullanımına dayanarak genetik algoritma (GA) ile sensör kalibrasyonunun yapılması için algoritma geliştirilmiştir. Kalibrasyon karakteristiği olarak 2. dereceden polinom ele alınmıştır. Örnek olarak diferansiyel basınç ölçücüsü ele alınmış, standart basınç seti kullanımı ile onun GA tabanlı kalibrasyonu yapılmıştır.
