Monitoring raster screen

Chemometric Characterization of the Impact of Particulate Emissions in Monitoring Raster Screens... 

Emissions of dust are crucial sources of pollution of the atmosphere by anthropogenic activities. The impact of emissions on territories is essentially determined by the amount of sedimented airborne particulate matter [KOMMISSION FUR UMWELTSCHUTZ, 1976]. In routine monitoring the assessment of these loadings is usually conducted by determining the total sedimented airborne particulates (TSP) in monitoring raster screens and comparison with legally fixed thresholds. Commonly, the positions of the dust-sam-... 

The following example demonstrates the possibilities of chemometric characterization of particulate emissions in monitoring raster screens [EINAX and DANZER, 1989 EINAX, 1993] ...

If values for the impact of emissions from different monitoring raster screens are submitted, or if differently loaded areas can be assumed from a knowledge of the emission structure and the specific territorial situation, it is obvious that differences in the impact of emissions can be classified in a multivariate maimer.

The extent to which it is possible to classify differences between the impact of emissions within one monitoring raster screen, and accordingly to detect heavily loaded areas, will be the subject of further investigation.

MVDA is highly suitable for classifying differently loaded areas inside one emission impact monitoring raster screen. By this means the a priori class division, which is given by a knowledge of the structure of emission sources and the particular territorial situation, can be corroborated. 

The results and their interpretation are comparable with other published results (for instance [HOPKE et al., 1976 VAN ESPEN and ADAMS, 1983 KEIDING et al., 1986 VONG, 1993]), but this is only a plausible explanation of a mathematical hypothesis. The graphical representation of the computed factor scores can verify this hypothesis. As demonstrated in the literature [EINAX and DANZER, 1989], representation of the scores of the main factors enables complete territorial separation of the investigated emission impact monitoring raster screens but only a relatively fuzzy temporal separation. 

The results of the chemometric investigation of particulate contamination in monitoring raster screens (discussed in detail in Section 7.2.1.2.4) show the limitations of the interpretation of temporal courses of the impact of such emissions this is easy to understand because such temporal changes are averaged over many sampling points in a large territory. 

To avoid any flicker in the image, the electron beam is scanned across and down the screen, many times per second, following a predetermined set of parallel lines, the method being known as raster scanning. The phosphor dots are the picture elements or pixels and light up as the beam scans across each one. In colour televisions and monitors additive mixing of the three colours of red, green and blue produces the...
