ABSTRACT
This paper explores the feasibility of using Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML) to develop a compact system for inferring environmental pollution levels at a device’s location. Leveraging the correlation between the Air Quality Index (AQI), the localised temperature and humidity, and various other meteorological and temporal factors, we propose a first-of-its-kind device that tries to embed some intelligence into a mobile air quality sensing device that predicts the local AQI using the local temperature and humidity collected through sensors, and internet-sourced meteorological and temporal information collected through a web crawler. A dust particle sensor has been added to calculate the real AQI, for validating the inference. Our contributions culminate in an efficient C/C++ based XGBoost implementation within a 2MB memory constraint, achieving 75.2% accuracy with a 1615μs latency.
