Abstract
Air toxicity and pollution phenomena are on the rise across the planet. Thus, the detection and control of gas pollution are nowadays major economic and environmental challenges. There exists a wide variety of sensors that can detect gas pollution events. However, they are either gas-specific or weak in the presence of gas mixtures. This paper handles this issue by presenting method based on a Temporal-based Support Vector Machine for for the detection and identification of several toxic gases in a gas mixture. The considered gases are carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Furthermore, an incremental algorithm is proposed in this paper for the selection of the best performing kernel function in terms of accuracy and simplicity of implementation. Then, a decision-making algorithm based on the rate of appearance of a class on a moving window is proposed to improve decision making in presence of uncertainties. This algorithm allows the user to master the false-alarms and no-detection dilemma, and quantify the level of confidence attributed to the decision. Experimental results, obtained with different gas mixtures, show the effectiveness of the proposed approach with 100% of accuracy in the learning and testing stages.
