Determinación de concentración de material particulado 2.5 (PM2.5) con el uso de aeronaves tripuladas a distancia en el área del parque industrial de la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

In the present degree work, a mathematical model is determined based on the concentration of Particulate Material 2.5 (PM2.5) in the area of the industrial park of the city of Cuenca; Through the identification of an empirical equation, through the information obtained from two multispectral cameras, the first with RGB properties and the second with NIR properties, mounted on a drone (or UAV for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). The model generated was validated by comparing the values of digital levels of the spectral bands Red, Green, Blue and NIR with the concentrations of the pollutant of the continuous monitoring station belonging to the company EMOV EP (Code: CCA). There were a total of 50 images of the area of interest, acquired every 1 hour, in the industrial park sector of the city of Cuenca. The feasibility of applying this mathematical model in specific areas will be extended, by obtaining an R2 = 0,68, to determine concentrations of PM2.5 without the need to resort to continuous monitoring stations for the pollutant within the city of Cuenca.
