Machine Learning for Environmental Monitoring in Wireless Sensor Networks

Parikshit N. Mahalle

Today, data fuels everything we do in a highly connected world. However, traditional environmental monitoring methods often fail to provide timely and accurate data for effective decision-making in today's rapidly changing ecosystems. The reliance on manual data collection and outdated technologies results in gaps in data coverage, making it challenging to detect and respond to environmental changes in real time. Additionally, integration between monitoring systems and advanced data analysis tools is necessary to derive actionable insights from collected data. As a result, environmental managers and policymakers face significant challenges in effectively monitoring, managing, and conserving natural resources in a rapidly evolving environment. Machine Learning for Environmental Monitoring in Wireless Sensor Networks offers a comprehensive solution to the limitations of traditional environmental monitoring methods. By harnessing the power of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and advanced machine learning algorithms, this book presents a novel approach to ecological monitoring that enables real-time, high-resolution data collection and analysis. By integrating WSNs and machine learning, environmental stakeholders can gain deeper insights into complex ecological processes, allowing for more informed decision-making and proactive management of natural resources.
