Infrared thermometer sensor dynamic error compensation using Hammerstein neural network

A novel dynamic neural network structure based on Hammerstein model is proposed and applied to dynamic error compensation for infrared thermometer sensor in this paper. First, the devices of dynamic calibration for infrared thermometer sensor are designed and the calibration experiments with continuous excitation are carried out. Then, the non-linear inverse system of the sensor dynamic compensator is expressed by a non-linear static subunit followed by a linear dynamic subunit—Hammerstein model. A novel neural network structure is designed, the weights in which are corresponding with the parameters of Hammerstein model. Finally, The iterative algorithm is derived, through which the non-linear static and linear dynamic subunit in Hammerstein model can be optimised and the coefficients of the dynamic compensator are gotten. The dynamic calibration data of the uIRt/c sensor are used to test and the experiment results show that the stabilizing time of the sensor is reduced less than 6 ms from 26 ms and the dynamic characteristic is obviously improved after compensation.
