Abstract :
A novel concept of an integrated spectrometric sensor platform is presented in this paper. The design and functioning of the proposed hardware and software for this instrument are discussed and its application prospects are investigated. It is designed to be a compact, portable and remotely operable sensing system, comprising of high resolution spectral and environmental sensors. In addition, it has the possibilities of internet connectivity and cloud based data access to users from far away operation sites. Thereby it is possible to perform measurements of environmental variables, real time online data visualization and storage of collected data with this system, which is a most unique feature of any such cloud based environmental sensing system developed until this time. With the open source and powerful data and spectrum analyzing software, this system is envisioned to be a highly potential and effective tool for monitoring of the environment - such as air quality, water pollutants, oil spills and many interdisciplinary fields.
