Satellite remote sensing technology has proven effective in monitoring various environmental parameters, but its efficiency in assessing shallow lakes has been limited. This study applies state-of-the-art machine and deep learning algorithms supported by classical statistic methods to analyze remote sensing data to measure chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration levels. Focused on a shallow coastal lagoon, Mar Menor, this work analyzes statistically daily Sentinel 3 information behaviour and compares Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques to enhance efficiency and accuracy data of this satellite. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) stand out as a robust choice, capable of delivering excellent results even in the presence of anomalous events. Our findings demonstrate that the CNN-based approach directly utilizing satellite data yields promising results in monitoring shallow lakes, offering enhanced efficiency and robustness. This research contributes to optimizing remote sensing data to and produce a continuous information flow addressed to monitoring shallow aquatic ecosystems with potential environmental management and conservation applications.
卫星遥感技术已被证明能有效监测各种环境参数,但其在评估浅水湖泊方面的效率却很有限。本研究在经典统计方法的支持下,应用最先进的机器学习和深度学习算法来分析遥感数据,以测量叶绿素-a(Chl-a)浓度水平。这项工作以沿海浅泻湖 Mar Menor 为重点,统计分析了哨兵 3 号卫星的日常信息行为,并比较了机器学习和深度学习技术,以提高该卫星数据的效率和准确性。卷积神经网络(CNN)作为一种稳健的选择脱颖而出,即使在出现异常事件时也能提供出色的结果。我们的研究结果表明,基于卷积神经网络的方法直接利用卫星数据,在监测浅水湖泊方面取得了可喜的成果,提高了效率和鲁棒性。这项研究有助于优化遥感数据,并为监测浅水生态系统提供持续的信息流,具有潜在的环境管理和保护应用价值。

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a critical challenge much less controlled in comparison with outdoor air quality. Bad IAQ is related to significant health complications such as respiratory problems, heart disease, and cancer. Many people spend most of their days inside buildings and don’t have air quality monitoring systems. Therefore, the occupants don’t know when the space has a higher quantity of pollutants than recommended, saturating the environment, and compromising people’s health. This is a problem that can be addressed by using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to develop monitoring systems that allow a greater number of possibilities regarding the storage and processing of data and access to information by the end user, assisting the decision-making process regarding the indoor air pollution problem. Real-time data can be compared to default values, alerting the user of that situation, and suggesting an action to decrease the air pollutants concentration. There already are multiple solutions involving IoT-based technologies, many of them using low-cost sensors. Those are analyzed in this systematic review. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic pointed out the importance of IAQ monitoring to evaluate the risk of contamination. The microcontrollers, IAQ parameters, sensors, data storage and visualization methods used in monitoring systems have been analyzed. The results show that most of the studies store data in Cloud systems and use Web platforms for data consulting. However, sensor calibration and efficient energy consumption are challenges that still exist.

Nowadays, the object’s volume is essential for monitoring any scene. Technological equipment is evolving, and mobile devices and other devices embed high-resolution cameras. The high-resolution cameras open a window for different research studies, where the volume measurement is vital for different areas. This study aims to identify image processing techniques for measuring the object’s volume. Thus, a systematic review was performed with a Natural Language Processing (NLP)-based framework for identifying studies between 2010 and 2023 related to the measurement of object volume. As a result of this search, this paper reviewed and analyzed 25 studies, verifying that different computer vision methods accurately handle object recognition. Additionally, an evaluation of the databases presented by the studies above is performed to consider further the design of a new approach to infer the volume of objects from an image.
