AI for Air Quality Prediction
Artificial intelligence, particularly deep learning, offers transformative solutions for environmental sustainability. Accurate air quality monitoring is crucial for public health, as pollutants such as SO2, O3, PM10, NO2, and CO contribute to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
Traditional machine learning models and conventional deep learning architectures have been widely applied but often struggle with the complexity and heterogeneity of environmental data, especially when datasets are incomplete or noisy. Our research addresses these limitations by proposing a robust framework that significantly outperforms existing methods.
The Power of Multi-Modal Data Fusion
Environmental data comes in diverse forms, including visual imagery and structured sensor measurements. Fusing these multi-modal data sources provides a richer context and enhances predictive accuracy.
Our approach seamlessly integrates environmental images (visual modality) with sensor-based gas concentration measurements (numerical modality). This comprehensive data integration allows the model to capture intricate patterns and dependencies that are not visible when analyzing modalities in isolation.
Robust Data Imputation for Incomplete Datasets
A significant challenge in environmental monitoring is dealing with incomplete or noisy datasets. Missing values can severely hinder model performance and lead to inaccurate predictions.
To overcome this, we employ KNN-based imputation for structured numerical and categorical sensor data. This method effectively fills in missing values by considering the similarity between data points, preserving the integrity and completeness of the dataset. This strategy significantly outperforms methods that simply delete records with missing values, which can lead to substantial data loss.
CapsuleNet: Next-Gen Deep Learning for Environmental Intelligence
Capsule Networks (CapsuleNet) represent a significant advancement over traditional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Unlike CNNs, which output scalar activations, CapsuleNet represents features as vectors, preserving critical spatial hierarchies and relationships within data.
This capability is particularly beneficial for environmental images, where understanding the spatial context of pollutants is vital. CapsuleNet's robustness against data perturbations and its ability to handle complex feature dependencies make it an ideal choice for accurate air quality prediction.
Dual-Phase Prediction Architecture
Our proposed system utilizes a two-phase approach for robust air quality prediction:
- Phase 1 (Visual Data): Environmental images are processed by a CapsuleNet-based deep learning model to predict air quality. This phase leverages the visual cues of pollution.
- Phase 2 (Sensor Data): Structured numerical and categorical sensor data, after KNN-based imputation for missing values, are classified using CapsuleNet. This phase integrates precise concentration measurements.
The combination ensures a comprehensive and highly accurate prediction, leveraging the strengths of both data types.
