Abstract

Abstract With the development of the economy, more and more attentions have been paid to the air pollution in China. As a vital means in transportation, the inland-waterway and sea ships possess many incomparable advantages. In the meanwhile, the air pollution caused by ships brought great troubles to the coastal environment. China has begun to strengthen environmental monitoring along the coastline. As a major form of air pollution, the black smoke exhausted by ships bothers the living environment. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to measure the black level of ship smoke. Moreover, the proposed method is running on the App installed on Android mobile operating platform, which could reach the goal of black level measurement via a precise and convenient manner. Therefore, the proposed approach cloud well facilitates environmental monitoring and protection.
