Feature extraction for atmospheric pollution detection

Atmospheric data sets are represented by an amount of heterogeneous and redundant data. As number of measurements grows, a strategy is needed to select and efficiently analyze the useful information from the whole data set. The aim of this work is to propose a feature extraction technique based on construction of clusters of similar features. The main objective of the proposed process is to attempt to reach a more accurate classification task and to achieve a more compact representation of the underlying structure of the data. The paper reports the results obtained using the above extraction and analysis procedure of a real data set on atmospheric pollution. It is shown that the proposed approach is able to detect underlying relationship between features and thus get to ameliorate classification accuracy rate.
