Popis: Public air quality monitoring relies on expensive monitoring stations which are highly reliable and accurate but require significant maintenance and cannot be used to form a high spatial resolution measurement grid. Recent technological advances have enabled air quality monitoring that uses low-cost sensors. Being inexpensive and mobile, with wireless transfer support, such devices represent a very promising solution for hybrid sensor networks comprising public monitoring stations supported by many low-cost devices for complementary measurements. However, low-cost sensors can be influenced by weather and degradation, and considering that a spatially dense network would include them in large numbers, logistically adept solutions for low-cost device calibration are essential. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of a data-driven machine learning calibration propagation in a hybrid sensor network consisting of One public monitoring station and ten low-cost devices equipped with NO2, PM10, relative humidity, and temperature sensors. Our proposed solution relies on calibration propagation through a network of low-cost devices where a calibrated low-cost device is used to calibrate an uncalibrated device. This method has shown an improvement of up to 0.35/0.14 for the Pearson correlation coefficient and a reduction of 6.82 µg/m3/20.56 µg/m3 for the RMSE, for NO2 and PM10, respectively, showing promise for efficient and inexpensive hybrid sensor air quality monitoring deployments.
