  • Publication number: 20220341903
    Abstract: A sensing device for sensing a target gas includes a measurement module for providing measurement information about a measurement of the concentration. The sensing device further includes a signal calibration module for using a machine learning model for determining, on the basis of the measurement information, a calibrated measurement value of the concentration. The signal calibration module determines a feedback feature using the calibrated measurement value. The signal calibration module uses the machine learning model for determining a subsequent calibrated measurement value on the basis of subsequent measurement information about a subsequent measurement of the concentration and on the basis of the feedback feature.
