Enhancing counterfeit RFID tag classification through distance based cognitive risk control by Haifeng Wu, Siyuan Wang, Chongrong Pu, Jun Ma, Yu Zeng

“…To tackle this challenge head-on, this study proposes the implementation of a cognitive risk control strategy, which fine-tunes tag distance within the tag classification process to bolster the SNR and enhance recognition precision. Beyond the enactment of cognitive risk control, this paper extends its focus to encompass enriched time domain and frequency domain feature extraction, totaling 104 features, aimed at further enhancing classification efficacy. …”
