Abstract

This paper presents a reliable and low cost environmental monitoring system. The system uses an Unmanned Ariel Vehicle (UAV) equipped with a set of sensors, microcontroller, wireless system, and other accessories. The system consists of two systems namely air quality monitoring system and water quality monitoring system. The air quality monitoring system consists of a set of gas sensors and microcontroller. This system measures the concentration of greenhouse gases at different altitudes under different environmental conditions. On the other hand, the water quality monitoring system consists of a set of water quality sensors, microcontroller, and water sampling unit. This system collects water samples from off-shore and on-shore water sources and measures water quality parameters. The present system is capable of recording the measured data in an onboard SD card. It is also able to send data to a ground monitoring unit through a wireless system. To ensure reliability in measurement the sensors are calibrated before deployment. Finally, the system is upgradable and reconfigurable. The system has been tested to measure air and water quality at different local areas. Some these measured data are also presented in this paper.

基于无人机的环境监测系统

本文介绍了一种可靠、低成本的环境监测系统。该系统使用一架无人驾驶飞行器(UAV)，配备一套传感器、微控制器、无线系统和其他配件。该系统由空气质量监测系统和水质监测系统两部分组成。空气质量监测系统由一组气体传感器和单片机组成。该系统测量不同海拔高度、不同环境条件下的温室气体浓度。另一方面，水质监测系统由一套水质传感器、单片机和水采样单元组成。该系统从近海和陆上水源采集水样，并测量水质参数。本系统能够将测量数据记录在板载SD卡中。它还能够通过无线系统将数据发送到地面监测单元。为了确保测量的可靠性，传感器在部署前都会进行校准。最后，该系统是可升级和可重构的。该系统已被用于测量不同地区的空气和水质。本文还介绍了其中的一些实测数据。
