Abstract

This paper addresses the pollution detection problem by using a camera and analyzing the pictures. A camera is used to record visual scenes around complex plants. Then several signals are computed to describe the pictures. Our aim is to detect among the various clouds if there are polluting smokes. We assume in this paper that the signals are useful to classify the clouds and that we do not need other data. In this paper two types of classifiers are studied: Bayesian networks and a k-nearest neighbour classifier.
