Tomczyk (2006) presents an application of a Genetic Algorithm(GA) for the calibration of a measurement system intended for dynamic measurements. The process of calibration is based on the determination of the maximum value of a chosen error criterion. The solutions presented in the paper refer to the integral-square error if the magnitude and rate of change constraints are imposed simultaneously on the calibrating signal. The practical application of the presented algorithm has been illustrated on the example of sixth order low-pass system calibration.

Step 2: After setting the parameters of the genetic algorithm, we create the population. Each chromosome of the population contains the coded values of the coefficients a0 , a1 and a2 . In order to find these coefficients, the chromosome and the bits for each chromosome should be set to the random value that the user will enter. Thus, the population is created. Let the each chromosome contains m bits. Accordingly, the formula is

In this study a Genetic Algorithm is developed for the calibration of measurement devices using the corresponding values obtained by reference standards. On the basis of this algorithm, the calibration curve for the differential pressure gauge is found. The calibration results founded using proposed GA are compared with the results obtained via the classical Least Square Method (LSM) and the recommendations on how to get the better calibration characteristics for the differential pressure gauge are given.

The following parameters necessary for coding should be found; the first m0 bits for the coefficient a0 , the next bit group m1 for the coefficient a1 , and the last bit group m2 for the coefficient a2 . Step 3: After the population is created, the chromosomes need to be decoded. The following conversion formula should be used for Binary Base Encoding. In case of tenbased coding, the 4th step should be started directly

This formula shows the relationship between input and output of the transducer. As it can be seen from the formula, we need to find the polynomial coefficients a0 , a1 , a 2 . The following steps must be performed to find the coefficients.

In (Yoon, 2017), it is shown that the procedures for sensor collaboration are pre-defined and less adaptive to dynamic changes in environment, or it is because the procedures are developed one time and deployed for many times. They are not satisfactorily adaptive to environmental changes, or are less efficient to work the sensors collaborative to cope with abrupt changes. The adaptation of the measurement sensor to the changing environment is provided in (Yoon, 2017) using GA.

OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES OF GA

Our goal here is to find the calibration curve of the differential pressure gauge with the help of Genetic Algorithm. As the calibration curve, the 2nd order polynomial is taken as,

Xueliang et al. (2015) propose the calibration method for the three-axis magnetometer calibration based on GA. The algorithm put the parameters of the calibration model as the volutionary population; According to the fitness, the poor individual is eliminated step by step and the optimal individual is obtained after crossing and mutation; The optimal parameter estimation corresponding to optimal individuals is achieved. The obtained simulation and experimental results show that the method based on GA can converge steadily and can achieve high estimation accuracy.

Binary Base Encoding is preferred in this application. For each chromosome, m0, m1, m2 bit groups will be decoded by applying a conversion formula. Depending on this method, the polynomial coefficients a0 , a1 , a2 contain the coded values of the coefficients, in which each chromosome of the population has. Each chromosome contains m bits of each.

Calibration with GA and LSM is made for the differential pressure gage. The range of the transducer is 0  pi  9 bar. The differential pressure gage errors are subjected to the normal distribution with zero mean and the standard uncertainty i = 0.03 bar.

Step 4: After the coefficients are found, using the polynomial formula (3) for each input X an output value for Y is obtained. The error assessment between the output values obtained as a result of the experiment and via GA should be performed. ∑������� � � �� �� �����

SENSOR CALIBRATION RESULTS

The calibration characteristics of the examined measuring device (in the present case, the differential pressure gage) is described by 2nd order polynomial as follows:

(6)

Yi a 0  a1 p i  a 2 p i 2 .

The above error is expressed as the square of the difference between the output values measured as a result of the experiments and calculated via GA. To get the maximization problem, the error (6) should be removed from a large number. This number is taken as 1500 and as a result the fitness function can be determined in the following form:

(8)

Measurement equation is written in the form Z i  a 0  a1 p i  a 2 p i2   i ,

i  1, n ,

(9)

(7)

where i is the measurement error with zero mean and the standard uncertainty .

Among the values obtained by the fitness function, the chromosome with high fitness value has a higher chance for approaching to the optimal solution. The greater the fitness value means the smaller difference between the outputs. This means that the chromosome consisting of those coefficients is approaching to the solution of problem (Cortes et al., 2004).

In the experiments the standard pressure setting devices reproduce pressure signals of p i , i  1,19 in the measurement interval of 0  pi  9 bar with the step of 0,5 bar and the output signals of the differential pressure gage zi are registered. The holding experiment results are presented in the Table 1.

If there is any fitness value close for solving, this means that the desired solution is approached and the process can be terminated. Otherwise, it should continue through step 5.

Step 5: The selection process is applied to create the second population. Selection process provides the elimination of chromosomes with low fitness values and transmission of chromosomes with high fitness values to the next population. The selection process is implemented in certain ways. Roulette Wheel Method is preferred in this application. In other words, a method that the possibility of choosing a larger fitness value is high and the possibility of selecting a smaller fitness value is low is preferred. Step 6: Cross the population obtained by the selection process. We determine the number of chromosomes to be crossed by multiplying the number of chromosomes by the probability of crossing that it is mentioned in step 1. Then the chromosomes are chosen randomly for crossovering. Any crossover technique can be used here. Step 7: Once the crossover is complete, the mutation process will be performed. In order to perform the mutation process, the total number of bits to be mutated must be found by multiplying the number of chromosomes by the probability of mutation. Then the chromosomes that will be mutated are randomly selected. In case of binary coding, the Bit Inverting Method, but in the case of decimal coding, a Small Number Addition Method should be used.

4.4. Combined Calibration Method

The graphs of the calibration curves obtained using GA and LSM are presented in Fig.1. The graphs of the absolute values of absolute calibration errors corresponding to the GA and LSM are shown in Fig.2.

Taking into account the obtained calibration results for the differential pressure gage, we can draw the following recommendation. During the operation of the examined differential pressure gage, a calibration characteristic obtained on the basis of LSM is recommended to be used on the measuring range 0-6.7 bar, and the characteristic obtained via GA should be used on the range of 6.7-9 bar. The obtained experimental results confirm that, the two examined methods (GA and LSM) can be combined to provide good metrological characteristics for wide ranges in the pressure difference, namely in the measurement range 0-6.7 bar, where GA fitting gives an error greater than the permissible value, where one uses LSM, while GA fitting is used for the other parts.

CONCLUSION

In this study a Genetic Algorithm is used for the measurement devices calibration purpose. The genetic algorithms are modelled on the processes of natural genetics. Their main advantage is that, we need only the information of the optimized function regardless of its derivatives, and no restriction is put on the shape of the function. As an example, GA based calibration of a differential pressure gauge using standard pressure setting devices is examined. The calibration characteristic of the differential pressure gauge is described adequately by the polynomial. The calibration results founded using proposed GA are compared with the results obtained via the classical Least Square Method (LSM) and the recommendations on how to get the better calibration characteristics for the differential pressure gauge are given. The obtained experimental results confirm that, the two examined methods (GA and LSM) can be combined to provide good metrological characteristics for wide ranges in the pressure difference, namely in the initial part of the measurement range , where GA fitting gives an error greater than the permissible value, where one uses LSM, while GA fitting is used for the other parts. The experimental results show that the proposed combined calibration approach is an efficient instrument in calibrating of measurement instruments. That approach can be easily realized and widely used in metrological support to measuring instruments in various branches of industry.
