The analysis of air pollution based on laser beam photo

Abstract

The article presents a comparison of original methods of air quality measurement with a professional device Air Smart-box v. 1.2. The methodology consisted of laser beam analysis from the device. To enable detailed photo analysis for the research, an Android mobile application was developed. The OpenCV library was used to process the images. In the article, the hypothesis was put forward that the method using a binary threshold with a threshold value of 50 allows to obtain results closest to those of the station. This hypothesis was confirmed by the results of the experiments.
