Abstract

As the primary pollutant in China's urban atmosphere, PM 2.5 poses a great threat to the health of residents and ecological stability. Efficient and effective PM 2.5 concentration monitoring is essential. Nonetheless, the popular devices for PM 2.5 monitoring are developed based on two standards: the micro-oscillation balance method and the β -ray method, which have high purchase and maintenance costs and slow calculation rates. To this end, we put forward a real-time and reliable vision-based estimation algorithm of PM 2.5 concentration. To be specific, the proposed method first develops two natural scene statistical analysis-based visual priors to measure saturation and structural information losses caused by the ‘haze’ formed by PM 2.5 . Moreover, we develop a lightweight deep belief network (DBN)-deep neural network (DNN)-based PM 2.5 concentration estimation model, which learns the mapping from the designed visual priors to PM 2.5 concentrations. Experiments confirm the superiority of our vision-based PM 2.5 concentration estimation method by comparison with state-of-the-art photo-based PM 2.5 monitoring methods.
