Description
Summary:Abstract Quality of urban environment directly affects people health, and it is important to understand the real-time status of urban air quality. Air quality monitoring, data analysis, and visualization can grasp the concentration data of air pollutants in cities. In view of the current air quality monitoring using digital displays, it is difficult for users to intuitively determine the air pollution level with unsatisfied interaction mode of the data query. Using the real-time monitoring data of 23 observation points in Beijing, the work based on Google Earth applied Keyhole Markup Language (KML) for the visualization of air monitoring data. The interactive query makes it easier for users to query air quality, and gradually varied color can visually highlight the air quality level. Visualization of data has stronger expression (more images and more intuitive) than the original data table, which is beneficial for further analysis of data.
