Abstract

Air pollution is a critical environmental issue that causes severe health risks. Accurate estimation of air pollutants can facilitate air pollution control and alert the public. PM2.5 (particulate matter with diameters less than 2.5 μm) is hazardous, and its estimation requires high-cost sensors. This paper proposes an image-based PM2.5 estimation model, a low-cost alternative. The proposed method is a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture for estimating PM2.5 concentration from images. The experiments conducted on the Beijing dataset show promising results, and therefore our proposed image-based CNN model can be used to estimate PM2.5 concentrations.
