Team Phantom became the International Audience Award Winner and the National Overall Winner at the ActInSpace 2020, initiated by the National Centre for Space Studies in France along with the European Space Agency. ActInSpace is an international space entrepreneurial innovation contest that is bi-annually organized in over 100 cities on 5 continents. For the contest, team Phantom developed a front-end user-ergonomic mobile and desktop application integrated with a deep convolutional neural network to detect and predict defined air quality parameters in order to help individuals, communities, and necessary authorities to take action against the deterioration of the air quality.

AIRSPY is a front-end
user-ergonomic mobile and
desktop application integrated with
a deep convolutional neural
network to detect and predict
defined air quality parameters
in order to
help individuals, communities and
necessary authorities to TAKE
ACTION against the deterioration
of the air quality.

3. The balanced air quality is utmost
important to the environmental
existence
Air quality has been deteriorated
especially over the last hundred
years
Deleterious consequences:
Economic impact
Health impact
Environmental impact on livings

World wide deaths in 2017 Worst condition cities
Drawbacks of
Current Settings
Some air quality detections are inaccurate
Some recommended cities were not safe
Took unnecessary actions for unwanted areas.

7. The Objective
A novel approach based on neural networks to efficiently
detect and predict defined air quality parameters
using satellite remote sensing image data,
with the primary motivation of helping individuals, communities and necessary
authorities to take action at their levels

21. THANK
YOU
Air Quality is the crucial substance of our whole living stream
and thus,
it must be our collaborative effort to protect our atmosphere as far as our ability
since,
" A LIFE DOES NOT EXIST WITHOUT AIR"
