Sensors are widely used to monitor the urban environment and human activities. Due to the nature of chemical sensors, they suffer seriously to the environment. Especially for PID sensors, its sensitivity may degrade over time which results in an unreliable reading. To solve this problem, sensor calibration is
adopted. However, regular calibration can only capture the status at the time of calibration, while the sensitivity degradation is not captured in between the period of two calibrations. In this paper,
the sensitivity degradation pattern of PID sensor is studied and modeled using deep neural network. The refined base sensitivity is used to re-calibrate the sensor reading to improve the reliability of the gas concentration measurement of the Vigi E-nose system.
