Initial experiments illustrate:
Difficulties of GDM mapping for real world applications without a ground truth.
The spatial distribution of a gas is unknown
Temporal distribution of the gas
Wind information can provide further clues about the results.
Gas distribution in real environments is a complex problem and this impacts many mobile olfaction applications.
Future work will need to examine the correlation between the instantaneous gas concentration and wind velocity vector in the GDM.
