Identification chemical agent simulants by remote infrared spectra with improved artificial neural network

Remote infrared sensing is a good approach to detect Chemical agents which can prevent operator being poisoned. The pattern recognition algorithms such as artificial neural network are the core of the chemical agent spectra identification subsystem. This paper presents a modified artificial neural network that can effectively train and identify chemical agent remote sensing spectra. The C++ language was used to program the identification software. Then many remote sensing spectra DMMP as chemical agent simulants were used to train the artificial neural network. The results show that the adaptive momentum and adaptive learning rate accelerate the artificial neural network convergence, cross-examination avoids neural network over-fitting, and the modified artificial neural network can be used to identify chemical agents remote sensing spectra perfectly.
