dc.description.abstractAir pollution primarily originates from substances that are directly emitted from natural or anthropogenic processes, such as carbon monoxide (CO) gas emitted in vehicle exhaust or sulfur dioxide (SO<inf>2</inf>) released from factories. However, a major air pollution problem is particulate matter (PM), which is an adverse effect of wildfires and open burning. Application tools for air pollution monitoring in risk areas using real-time monitoring with drones have emerged. A new air quality index (AQI) for monitoring and display, such as three-dimensional (3D) mapping based on data assessment, is essential for timely environmental surveying. The objective of this paper is to present a 3D AQI mapping data assessment using a hybrid model based on a machine-learning method for drone real-time air pollution monitoring (Dr-TAPM). Dr-TAPM was designed by equipping drones with multi-environmental sensors for carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O<inf>3</inf>), nitrogen dioxide (NO<inf>2</inf>), particulate matter (PM<inf>2.5,10</inf>), and sulfur dioxide (SO<inf>2</inf>), with data pre- and post-processing with the hybrid model. The hybrid model for data assessment was proposed using backpropagation neural network (BPNN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithms. Experimentally, we considered a case study detecting smoke emissions from an open burning scenario. As a result, PM<inf>2.5,10</inf> and CO were detected as air pollutants from open burning. 3D AQI map locations were shown and the validation learning rates were apparent, as the accuracy of predicted AQI data assessment was 98%.
