Abstract: In current scenario, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has been applied on variety of applications such as targets tracking, natural resources investigation, monitoring on unapproachable place and so on. Through the sensor nodes, the information for the applications is gathered and transferred. The physical coordination of these sensor nodes is determined, and it is called as localization. The WSN localization methods are studied widely for recent research with the study of small proportion of the sensor node called anchor nodes and their positions are determined through the GPS devices. Sometimes sensor nodes can be a IoT device in the network. With despite this, among the various applications, air pollution and air quality monitoring having many issues on how to place the sensor network in a wide area to monitor the air pollutants level such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen dioxides (NO2), particulate matter (PM), sulphur dioxide (SO2), ammonia (NH3) and other toxic gases involved in human and industrial activities. The responsibility of the WSN in air quality monitoring is to be positioning the sensor nodes in the large area with low cost and also gather the real time data and produce the monitoring system as an accurate one. In this proposed work, deep learning-based approach called dual graph convolution and LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) network based (air quality index) AQI predictions were performed. This uses the infrared based technology to measure the CO2, temperature and humidity, Geo statistic method and low power wireless networking. Accuracy of the proposed system is maximum of 95% which is higher than existing techniques.

1  Introduction

As day from industrial revolution till today, new innovation and technological demands makes more industries across the world. Though it meets demands of technological crisis, it does pollute the society. An industry makes the fast urbanization of the society. The effluents, contaminated particles from industries mix with outside of air and damages the quality. Quality of air degradation leads to pollution which is biggest threat to public wellbeing. It’s essential to scrutinize the quality of air in hour by hour to alert the society. Wireless sensor network with IoT is used in our research to estimate air quality using artificial intelligence techniques.

Main causes of air pollutants are nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone and sulphur dioxide gases [1]. Sometime air quality is affected by particulate matter present in it. There are two types, PM 2.5 and PM 10, which is main pollutants and causes some health hazard. PM 2.5 is a air particle in the atmosphere with diameter less than the 2.5 fm and 10 fm. These particles can easily enter to nasals and causes severe respiratory problems as well as cardiac related problems [2]. Nowadays pollution control board uses air quality monitoring sensors in main cities in the country to check the quality through online in minute by minute. This station monitors the quality and mention the severity of pollution level in different areas in maps. It is very challenging to monitor the quality and classify the pollutant in real time. Conventional techniques still need to enhance with developed artificial intelligence technology. In our research we use deep learning model for high accuracy prediction. The main contribution in this article is,

1.    Deep learning model is designed to improve the prediction of air pollutant level.

2.    Sensor data is processed using Graph convolutional neural network by learning the pollutant and its characteristics.

3.    Graph LSTM is used to process the decision of the graph convolutional neural network.

Rest of article is presented with 5 chapters. Second chapter deals with literature survey of the air monitoring and processing techniques. Third chapter deals with implementation of proposed model and its architectural design. Chapter four evaluates the experimental results and shows the comparison of traditional methods. Chapter five evaluates the work and concludes the research with future scope.

3  Proposed Methodology

In this proposed work, dual graph convolutional network has been used to process the data captured from the sensor nodes. The gathered data are then learned with the AQI characteristics using graph LSTM (G-LSTM). The proposed system overview is shown in Fig. 1. The architecture consists of the components for data gathering, data analysis and networking, monitoring using proposed method and sending data feedback about the air quality.

3.1 Data Gathering/Sensing Module

The data about the air quality such as temperature, humidity and AQI are gathered using the sensor nodes placed over that area. Each data gathering unit consists of array of sensors/IoT devices that measure various pollutants. The Data gather unit is designed with the wireless module to transfer the measurements through the general packet radio service (GPRS). This module can monitor the pollutant such as Nitrogen di oxide (NO2), Carbon di oxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), ground level ozone (O3) and also relative humidity and temperature. New sensor station can also be added to monitor the Sulfur Dioxyde (SO2), Nitorgen oxide (NO) with Particulate Matter (PM). It can also be used to measure the wind speed and direction.

3.2 Data Analysis and Networking Module

This data analysis module is the link between the sensing module and backend processing module. This will provide the interface to extract the relevant data from the gathered data. The dataset used in this work is divided into three parts such as pollutants such as CO, CO2, NO2, PM, O3, locations of the GPS with latitude and longitude and time stamp such as data and time. The researchers used the AQI to measure the pollutants. AQI is the color-coded unit less index that is used to communicate the air quality concentration effective. The AQI computation of the particular air pollutant is based on average time period acquired from sensing PM. The risk of classification metrics in air pollutant is considered if its range is 0–300 and above. The coefficients of AQI metric are computed as Eq. (1).

AQI(particularpollutant)=(PavgPmin)(AQImaxAQImin)PmaxPmin (1)

where,

Pavg-average measurement of the concentration for last 24 hrs in mg/m3

Pmax-maximum concentration of the certain pollutant with risk classification metric

Pmin-minimum concentration of the certain pollutant with risk classification metric

AQImax-maximum AQI value of the certain pollutant with risk classification metric

AQImin-minimum AQI value of certain pollutant with risk classification metric

The AQI of the gathered pollutant are calculated from Eq. (1) which are independent. The gathered need to be preprocessed to handle the missing values. In this proposed work, portable web publication (PWP) dataset has been used for analysis which consist of 189648 samples with 18 features. This model has been trained with 60000 samples and the remaining instances are considered for testing. In the dataset, the dependent and independent features of the air quantities are identified. During this data preprocessing stage, among the 18 features, 12 features are selected for the prediction of air quality using the proposed dual graph convolutional network.

3.3 Air Pollutant Prediction Using Proposed Model

In this proposed work, the hybridization of two methods such as dual graph convolution network (DGCN) and graph LSTM has been to use to predict and monitoring the air quality. Here, the DGCN has been used to select the air pollutant features efficiently for the intelligent monitoring. GLSTM has been used to learn the AQI characteristics with information transfer with the feedback about the quality of the air and alert the environmental users. Parallel computing of various air data from sensor/IoT devices to centralized storage makes GPRS to compute data efficiently.

3.3.1 Dual Graph Convolutional Neural Network

The graph based neural network concept was first to propose that extension of existing neural network with graph domains. In graph, each node can be represented using features and related nodes. This dual graph convolutional network is considered as local and global graph consistency. The two convolutional neural networks are used to capture both local and global graph consistency. In the DGCN, the data set is denoted as a matrix X ∈ Rn×k and the set of data points are represented as X = {x1, x2,..xi, xi+1, …xn} and the graph structure. The label for the first i points are represented as y = {y1, y2, …yl}. The graph structure is represented as an adjacency matrix A ∈ Rn×n. The DGCN is formed with local consistency convolutional, global consistency convolutional and ensemble.

Local consistency of graph structured convolution convLC is a kind of feed forward network. The input is given to this model are feature matrix as X and adjacency matrix as A. The hidden output layer i of the local convolutional layer Z is declared in Eq. (2),

convLCi(X)=Zi=σ(D12AD12Zi1Wi) (2)

where, A¯=A×In , I–identity matrix and adjacency matrix A¯ with self loops, D12AD12Zi1 -normalized adjacency matrix. Z–output layer, W–trainable parameter and σ –activation function such as ReLU and sigmoid. The node vectors with feature are formed by adding all the feature vectors of the neighboring node. The output will the visualized as a karate club network as shown in Fig. 2, using t stochastic neighbor embedding (tSNE). Labeled and unlabeled nodes are represented in red and blue colors. The neural network with three hidden layers are formed with given X and A with the parameters. The local consistency convolution network is enhanced by adding positive point wise mutual information (PPMI) in the global consistency convolutional layer.

Figure 2: Karate club network for local consistency convolution

Global consistency convolution (G) is formed with the PPMI for encoding the information and it is denoted as G ∈ Rn×n. Initially the frequency matrix (FM) is calculated for a path chosen as random. FM can be used to calculate the G. This G based global convolution is represented as convGC.

The frequency matrix FM is calculated as follows: The random path is chosen by using node sequence visited by the user randomly. If the user on the node xi are random at time t, the state described as s(t) = xi. The node transfer from one node to the neighbor xj is declared as, r(s(t + 1) = xjs(t) = xi). These transition states are assigned to the given adjacency matrix A as Eq. (3). Random walk used here for similarity calculation between the nodes.

r(s(t+1)=xj|s(t)=xi)=Ai,j/jAi,j (3)

The frequency matrix FM is created using the Eq. (3) for all the pairs of nodes. The path between the nodes is calculated using random walk. Once the FM is created, the ith node of FM is the ith row vector of FMi and jth column of FM is the jth column vector of FMj. It is also called as context cj. The entry of the frequency matrix FMi,j is the number of time xi occurs in cj. Then the FM has been used to calculate matrix as PPMI where P ∈ Rn×n as in the Eqs. (4) to (8).

Pi,j=FMi,ji,jFMi,j (5)

Pi,=jFMi,ji,jFMi,j (6)

P,j=iFMi,ji,jFMi,j (7)

Pi,j=max{pmii,j=log(Pi,jPi,,P,j),0} (8)

where,

Pi,j-probability of node xi occurs in context cj

Pi,*-probability of node xi

P*,j-probability of context cj

{pmii,j=0ifPi,j=Pi,,P,jandxi,cjareindependentpmii,j=positivenumberifPi,j>Pi,,P,jandxi,cjareindependentpmii,j=negativenumberifxi,cjareunrelated

Compared to the adjacency matrix, PPMI matrix has reduced the hub nodes and increate the relationship among the data points. The global consistency convolution network convG based on the PPMI matrix is denoted in Eq. (9).

ConvGCi(X)=Zi=σ(D12PD12Zi1Wi (9)

where,

P-PPMI matrix and Di,i=jPi,j

The local and global consistency are combined using convolution for dual graph convolutional network, regularizer used. Loss function with this regularizer is represented in Eq. (10)

Loss=L0(ConvLC)+λ(t)Lreg(ConvLC,ConvGC) (10)

L0(ConvLC)=1|yL|lϵyLi=1cyl.iZl,iA (11)

where yL–labelled data for tranining and Y ∈ Rn×n

Lreg(ConvLC,ConvGC)=1ni=1n||ZiPZiA||2 (12)

For both L0(Conv LC) and Lreg(Conv LC, Conv GC) calculation the activation function called ReLU has been used. After applying the activation function on Eqs. (11) and (12), the output matrix is represented as ZA ∈ Rn×c and ZP ∈ Rn×c respectively. The structure of dual graph convolutional network is shown in Fig. 3.

3.3.2 Graph Structured LSTM Neural Network

In this proposed work G-LSTM has been used to train and learn the characteristics of the air pollutant for air quality monitoring. LSTM is a kind of recurrent neural network used to predict the events with long delay and time interval [21]. Compared to traditional LSTM, in graph LSTM each tree node represents the single unit of LSTM. In one direction of the graph, the node history is captured and, in another direction, the response for that comment is characterized. For the input ‘xt’ which have both text comments and submission context with hierarchical and timing layer. The node state transition are represented as a vector using the standard LSTM [22]. Fig. 4 shows the hierarchical and timing structure of Graph LSTM that are contributed to time.

Figure 4: Forward G-LSTM hierarchical and timing structure

The graph is characterized as follows: let P(t) is the parent of node t and k(t) is the first node of child. The structure of timing is represented with the siblings: The predecessor p(t) and the successors (t) of the sibling. When t has no child, no predecessor, or no successor, then the pointers such as k(t), p(t) and s(t) are set as null. For the forward hierarchical LSTM, the equations are updated with the parameters such as, input gate i, temporal forget gate f, hierarchical forget gate h, cell c and output o respectively. The vectors such as it, ft and ht are used. Where,

it-new information weights

ft-siblings old data are remembered

ht-parent old data are remembered

σ-sigmoid function

Based on these parameters the equations are updated as follows from Eqs. (13) to (17),

it=σ(wixt+Uihp(t)+Vihπ(t)+bi) (13)

ft=σ(wfxt+Ufhp(t)+Vfhπ(t)+bf) (14)

ht=σ(whxt+Uhhp(t)+Vhhπ(t)+bh) (15)

ct=wcxt+Uchp(t)+Vchπ(t)+bc (16)

ot=σ(woxt+Uohp(t)+Vohπ(t)+bo (17)

For the backward LSTM the equations update are same apart from that the first child which passes the hidden state to its parents. π(t) is replace with k(t) and p(t) is replace with s(t) for backward graph LSTM which is represented in Fig. 5 and from Eqs. (18) to (22)

it=σ(wixt+Uihs(t)+Vihk(t)+bi) (18)

ft=σ(wfxt+Ufhs(t)+Vfhk(t)+bf) (19)

ht=σ(whxt+Uhhs(t)+Vhhk(t)+bh) (20)

ct=wcxt+Uchs(t)+Vchk(t)+bc (21)

ot=σ(woxt+Uohs(t)+Vohk(t)+bo (22)

4  Results and Discussions

The experimental analysis of our proposed smart air pollution prediction environment has been tested using the data from the PWP which contains the name of 35 stations with air pollutant concentration such as PM2.5, PM10, CO, NO2 and O3. The raw dataset having missing values which are not normalized. During the first phase of our proposed work called data gathering, the raw data is preprocessed to get normalized data [23]. The normalized data set is shown in Tab. 1. The algorithms are implanted using python programming. The preprocessing stage is done by panda. The evaluation metrics are calculated using sklearn in python.

To evaluate the proposed work with the simulation data set, the error among actual and predicted values is calculated using various error measuring such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and accuracy. Mean Absolute Error (MAE) is average magnitude measures of the errors in the set of predictions. It is the measure of the difference between the values of actual and predicted using the Eq. (23). Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is the measurement of the average of the squared differences between values of actual and predicted value using the Eq. (24)

MAE=1nj=1n(yjy´j) (23)

RMSE=1nj=1n(yjy´j)2 (24)

n-number of observations, yj-actual value, y´j -predicted value

Accuracy = correctpredictionwrongprediction100 (25)

The performance evaluation of the proposed air quality monitoring system is compared with the existing approaches such as linear regression (LR) based air quality prediction and artificial neural network (ANN) based air quality prediction system from paper [2427]. The accuracy comparison is shown in Tab. 2.

The observed results from Fig. 7 indicate pollutant of the PM 2.5 accuracy was highly recorded when compared to other pollutants of air. For further air pollutants the accuracy recorded was lesser than the basic level. And the comparative analysis proves that the proposed Dual graph convolutional with GLSTM method performs better than other approaches with high accuracy in the range of 90% to 95%. The other two methods such as LR and ANN obtains 84%–91% and 79%–90% respectively which is lower than proposed algorithm. Hence in terms of predicting the air pollutant level, our proposed algorithm outperforms. The comparative analysis in terms of MSE and RMSE is shown in Tab. 3.

It can be observed red Figs. 8 and 9 that the obtained error rate for the proposed method records the minimal mean squared error and root mean squared error which are around 9–10 and 0.03–0.08 respectively. Furthermore, the remaining two methods such as LR and ANN obtains higher level of error rate than the proposed method for air pollutants like PM2.5, PM10, NO2, CO and O3. Hence proposed system proves as intelligent technology to monitor the air quality services.

5  Conclusions

Air pollution is everything that causes hazards to human life. Human cannot survey without air (Oxygen). But in reality, the air is mixture of many particles and gases. When we inhale harmful particles enter body via respiratory tract and causes immunity problems. In this research work we use deep learning model to alert the human population regarding their surrounding air quality. Graph convolutional neural network with graph LSTM helps to adjudge the presence of pollutants with high accuracy. Hence, in terms of prediction accuracy and error rate, our proposed graph convolutional based LSTM performs efficiently on sending feedback about the air quality and proven to be the intelligent air quality monitoring system. Accuracy of proposed model reaches 95% in measuring the pollutant levels. This system can be studied and enhanced using some hybrid machine learning algorithm to bring the higher accuracy in future research work.
