A fast and effective method for identifying the origin of mung beans is essential for protecting origin-specific products and safeguarding consumer rights. In this work, an electronic nose (e-nose) combined with a deep learning algorithm is proposed to identify the gas information of mung beans from different origins. First, gas information of mung beans in six renowned origins of China is detected using an e-nose system. Next, based on the time-series characteristics and cross-sensitivity in gas information, a deep feature computing module (DFCM) is proposed to adaptively compute the deep gas features along both the time and sensor directions. Finally, a deep feature computing and classification network (DFCC-Net) is designed to identify the gas information of mung beans at different origins. Through visual analysis of the gas information, ablation studies, and comparison with state-of-the-art gas classification methods, DFCC-Net demonstrates superior performance, achieving an accuracy of 97.93%, a precision of 98.09%, and a recall of 98.09%. Meanwhile, the gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) visualization method is employed to highlight key gas features, further validating the effectiveness of feature computation and classification by DFCC-Net. In conclusion, the integration of the e-nose system with DFCC-Net offers an effective approach for accurately identifying the origin of mung beans and protecting origin-specific products.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 8","pages":"14173-14182"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143839815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally, received signal strength indicator (RSSI)-based methods have been employed for BLR. However, RSSI is highly susceptible to multipath interference, leading to degraded reconstruction accuracy. To address this limitation, this article leverages the fine-grained characterization capabilities of channel state information (CSI) to mitigate the weaknesses of RSSI in multipath environments. Specifically, we propose a novel method that integrates CSI phase fluctuations with RSSI measurements to achieve high-quality BLR for various building structures. This approach enables the independent reconstruction of different building features, which are subsequently fused to enhance the overall BLR image. Experimental results demonstrate that, compared to conventional RSSI-based BLR methods, the proposed approach significantly reduces multipath interference, resulting in improved reconstruction accuracy.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 10","pages":"17717-17726"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144073312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Applying surface electromyography (sEMG) and inertial measurement unit (IMU) to predict knee joint angles faces several issues, including complex deployment, precise locating muscles, and equipment interfering with movement. Furthermore, present estimation methods seldom consider the topology of the device. We propose a MyoStep method that applies a feature-based graph neural network (GNN) model to estimate knee joint angles by combining signals from sEMG electrodes and IMU. First, the self-developed leg band collects signals and its sensors are mapped as the graph nodes. Features are extracted and then weighted by the neighborhood component feature selection algorithm, and the top five weighted features are exploited as graph properties. Furthermore, the topological links between the sEMG electrodes and IMU are associated with the edges of the graph, and the mean correlation coefficients between neighboring nodes are computed as the edge attributes. Finally, the graph features are obtained by the ReadOut function of the model and then fed into the fully connected layers to estimate knee joint angles. The sensor deployment of MyoStep is simpler and causes less interference. In addition, the estimated knee joint angles’ root-mean-square error (RMSE), coefficient of determination (<inline-formula> <tex-math>${R}^{{2}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>), and Pearson correlation coefficient (CC) are 2.82°, 0.993, and 0.997, respectively.

Therefore, this study proposes a novel method for battery SOH estimation. First, a thermocouple temperature sensor monitors the battery’s operating temperature and provides feedback to the thermostat for precise temperature control during experiments. The battery’s charging voltage and current are measured using voltage transmitters and Hall current sensors, respectively, and the two are fused to obtain the battery’s charging power. Next, 1-D charging power data are converted into 2-D heatmaps using image encoding techniques. The heatmap corresponding to the first cycle is selected as the reference image, and the difference between the heatmaps of subsequent cycles and the reference image is quantified using structural similarity (SSIM). The final results serve as an indicator for battery health. In addition, this study proposes a novel battery SOH estimation model, the feature enhancement-simplification-bidirectional long short-term memory (FE-S-BiLSTM). The feature enhancement layer in the FE-S-BiLSTM model enriches global static features through enhancement learning. Based on the model’s bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) layer and simplification layer, dynamic features in the time-space domain are double captured. Finally, this study utilizes six batteries and designed a variety of experiments to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The experimental design comprises three tasks: SOH estimation based on full-charging data, SOH estimation based on random SOC interval charge data, and cross-battery SOH estimation. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed SOH estimation method for batteries exhibits significant potential for practical applications.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 10","pages":"17727-17738"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144073313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
