Specific Recognition Technology of Infrared Absorption Spectra Based on Continuous Wavelet Decomposition

Abstract

Because infrared (IR) absorption spectroscopy technology can offer high sensitivity and strong anti-interference capabilities, it is widely used in gas detection. To solve the problem of spectrum line aliasing in gas detection, this study examined the application of IR absorption spectroscopy technology based on time-frequency analysis in component identification. The second derivative spectrum of the IR absorption spectroscopy was processed by continuous wavelet transform to obtain the time-frequency characteristic matrix. The appropriate scale range was selected through the variance of wavelet coefficients. The correlation analysis of time and frequency on the time-frequency characteristic matrix was used for component identification. The experimental results showed that the correlation analysis of the time dimension can extract the characteristic absorption position of the gas to be measured in the gas mixture. The frequency correlation analysis at the characteristic absorption position can improve the recognition accuracy compared with the frequency correlation analysis in the entire spectral interval. The research in this article provides new ideas for the quantitative detection of gases.
