Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for the Inspection of Environmental Emissions

Abstract

These days, level of environmental pollution seriously concern people’s health risk. For this reason, the demand of innovative techniques to determine pollution in sensible areas is ever increasing. This work presents a novel method for the control of environmental emissions. The proposed solution deploys an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to facilitates the responsible authorities to quickly act and real-time monitoring specific areas. The work encompasses both hardware and software integration to develop a new measurement tool that will be hosted by an UAV. The platform comprises digital optics sensors and toxic/pollutant gas concentration detectors along with low-power computing and communication capabilities.
