Unmanned aerial vehicles for emissions measurement

Izloženost onečišćenom zraku postaje sve veći uzročnik bolesti i razlog prijevremenih smrti u svijetu pa činjenica da se svakodnevno razvijaju i usavršavaju metode mjerenja emisija onečišćujućih tvari nije iznenađujuća. Cilj ovog rada jest proučiti i približiti danas najmoderniju tehnologiju mjerenja onečišćujućih tvari – besposadne letjelice. Zbog svoje učinkovitosti, brzine prikupljanja podataka i fleksibilnosti u integraciji više različitih senzora, besposadne letjelice omogućuju mjerenje s visokom rezolucijom čak i na čovjeku nepristupačnim mjestima. Rad daje uvid u vrste besposadnih letjelica kao i najčešće korištenih senzora koji metodom daljinskog istraživanja (engl. remote sensing) omogućuju prikupljanje traženih informacija od kojih je jedna i koncentracija prisutnih ispušnih plinova u atmosferi.Exposure to contaminated air is becoming an increasing cause of diseases and the reason for premature deaths in the world, so the fact that methods for emission measurement are being developed and perfected every day is not surprising. The purpose of this work is to study and bring closer the most modern technology for measuring pollutants – unmanned aerial vehicles. Due to their efficiency, speed of data collection and flexibility in the integration of multiple sensors, unmanned aerial vehicles provide measurements with high resolution even in places inaccessible to humans. The work gives an insight into the types of unmanned aerial vehicles as well as the most commonly used sensors that enable the collection of required information throught the mothod of remote sensing, one of which is the amount of exhaust gases present in the atmosphere
