SkyAerosolAnalyzer

Overview

The sky can give us much information , it will be analyzed usig the images that are sent from a mobile device and the result will be stored in a database. This database will be accesible through a web application.

Description

A colaborative Application to measure the aerosol particles in the air by images taken with a mobile device. Those images will be process and store into a server. The data extracted from images will be compared with the nearest AERONET Station (AEROSOL ROBOTIC NETWORK). Both, data and images, will be available to public on a web.

Demo

The demo online of SkyAerosol_API with the Daily Average of AERONET

The parts of software

This are the parts of the whole project:

Install on your own server

In order to install the backend and serve your own data. You must install the back end, based on SailsJS. This is located at GItHub repository as backend

Install NodeJS and SailsJS

In Debian:

$ sudo apt-get install curl

$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | bash -

$ sudo apt-get install nodejs $ sudo npm -g install sails

For other distros follow this link http://sailsjs.org/#!/getStarted

Install MongoDB

In Debian:

$ sudo apt-get install mongodb

In order to have an install granulated follow the instructions of this link http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-debian/ In the other hand is highly recomended to run a 64bits version of mongoDB to have a good performance on import operations and run a production server

Install Forever

In Debian:

$ sudo npm install forever -g

Install SkyAerosolAnalyzer backend

$ git clone https://github.com/davidgt/SkyAerosolAnalyzer.git

$ cd SkyAerosolAnalyzer/backend

$ sudo npm install

Populate database with AERONET data

First of all go to AERONET web page and download de Level 2.0 AOD Daily Average http://aeronet.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/combined_data_access_new

Second unpackage the file downloaded.

$ tar -xzvf INV_Level2_Daily_V2.tar.gz

Go to the scripts directory, and there do:

$ ./skyAerosolAnalyzer_importer_mongodb.sh INV_Level2_Daily_V2/INV/DUBOV/DAILY/*

In order to execute the above script, skyAerosolAnalyzer_importer_mongodb.sh must have execute permission, to do that:

$ sudo chmod a+x skyAerosolAnalyzer_importer_mongodb.sh

Start SkyAnalyzer server

$ cd backend/

$ sails lift

Or to run the server non stop use forever:

$ forever start backend/app.js

In Debian case, if you want to add a service to start and stop the server, copy the script skyAerosol_service.sh located at scripts/ directory on this repository to /etc/init.d/ on your Debian, give it executions permission (command above). And if you wish to start on boot (to get more info about this subject of booting on Debian):

$ sudo update-rc.d skyAerosol_service.sh defaults

API to consume data

You can retrieve data in json:

  • Retrieve all records from Location called Burjassot

http://[serverIP]:[PORT]/days/find?Locations=Burjassot

  • Retrieve all data from Location called Burjassot certain day

http://[serverIP]:[PORT]/days/find?Locations=Burjassot&Date(dd-mm-yyyy)=15:07:2003

  • Retrieve all data from all location to certain day

http://[serverIP]:[PORT]/days/find?Date(dd-mm-yyyy)=15:07:2003

  • Retrieve all data from points with elevation >= 1000 meters

http://[serverIP]:[PORT]/days?where={"elev":{">=":1000}}

  • Retrieve all data from points with elevation >= 1000 meters and certain day

http://[serverIP]:[PORT]/days?where={"Date(dd-mm-yyyy)":"04:07:2003","elev":{">=":1000}}

  • Retrieve all data Water(cm) variable is equal or greater than 2.5 cm

http://[serverIP]:[PORT]/days?where={"Water(cm)":{">=":2.5}}
