摘要

An efficient and affordable e-nose system is crucial for advancing artificial olfaction across domains. This study proposes a low-cost e-nose system featuring seamless LabVIEW-based data acquisition, Topological Data Analysis (TDA)-powered feature extraction, and Machine Learning (ML)-based classification to classify four Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): acetone, toluene, isopropanol, and ethanol. TDA, combined with hand-crafted features and advanced tools, identifies key features to create unique VOC fingerprints for successful classification by ML algorithms. The random forest algorithm achieved 89% accuracy on the raw data via fivefold cross-validation for VOC classification. On the other hand, on noisy data, the standalone random forest achieved an accuracy of 41.83%, while the TDA-augmented random forest improved it to 92.31%. TDA also outperformed Principle Component Analysis (PCA) in denoising, with TDA–ML achieving 91.67% accuracy compared to 41.85% with PCA–ML. Thus, our framework with TDA and ML promises to be a better solution for a noisy low-cost e-nose system.
