Incubator system identification of humidity and temperature: Comparison between two identification environments

The preterm infant are estimated to be around 15 million cases worldwide every year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) that is more than 1 in 10 babies worldwide 60% of them are born in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. So the babies born prematurely are generally kept in special chamber or sensitive unit care called “incubators” which are designed to help this preterm babies to keeping their bodies warm for the first several weeks of life. Because the infant incubator provides a stable level of temperature, relative humidity and oxygen concentration. Temperature control system is the most important part of the baby incubator which is around (37°C). This paper focuses on the comparison of two identification methods to get the best model from the experimental data and chooses the one that is nearest to the real process. The two methods are the identification system toolbox from Matlab environment and a software called HIDEN or Hito IDENTification.
