SNM-Net for Robust Open-Set Gas Recognition
Analysis
This paper introduces SNM-Net, a novel deep learning framework for open-set gas recognition in electronic nose (E-nose) systems. The core contribution lies in its geometric decoupling mechanism using cascaded normalization and Mahalanobis distance, addressing challenges related to signal drift and unknown interference. The architecture-agnostic nature and strong performance improvements over existing methods, particularly with the Transformer backbone, make this a significant contribution to the field.
