Abstract

Environmental pollution can be detected by installing special devices on the drone, called sensors, which will collect data on air, water, and soil quality. The topic of using drones with sensors is currently known and is applied in various fields such as agriculture, meteorology, hydrology, marine and oceanographic prospecting, gas leak inspection, environmental monitoring, etc. Air, water, and soil sensors and collectors attached to drones are used to detect and collect contaminants. The remote sensing method uses multispectral optical and thermal sensors for modelling and mapping applications.
