Abstract

The embodiment of the present invention provides a dust detection method and apparatus based on image processing. The method comprises: obtaining dust data in a current area, wherein the dust data comprises dust image data and dust concentration data; processing the dust image data and the dust concentration data through a trained dust feature analysis model to obtain dust feature data in the current area; and integrating and outputting the dust feature data through a visualization module to generate a visualized dust feature report. Through the method described above, a solution that combines image data and concentration data to obtain accurate dust feature data is implemented. By comprehensively analyzing current dust concentration and images within a certain area, the real-time performance, accuracy, and stability of dust detection in the area are improved.
