Abstract

We propose a method of evaluating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission decay semi-quantitatively. The method utilizes continuous measurements performed with gas sensor array and the simultaneous visualization of measurement data. Individual VOCs are evaluated against the graphically displayed quantitative criteria, which describe the stages of the emission process. Based on the displayed information, human operator evaluates the gas mixture composed of the emitted VOCs. In order to visualize the data together with the quantitative criteria the two-dimensional feature space was proposed. A number of issues were discussed in this work regarding the selection of the adequate feature spaces and suitable methods of their partitioning in order to reflect the stages of the VOCs emission process in the structure of the feature space.
