Modelling Nonlinear Responses of Resonance Sensors in Pressure Garment Application

Information on the applied pressure is critical to the pressure garment treatment. The use of the passive resonance sensors would be significant improvement to existing systems. These sensors have nonlinear response and thus require nonlinear regression methods. In this paper we compare three nonlinear modelling methods: Sugeno type fuzzy inference system, support vector regression and multilayer perception networks. According to the results, all the tested methods are adequate for modelling an individual sensor. The used methods also give promising results when they are used to model responses of multiple sensors.
