Apparatus and method for estimating contamination source location within a designated space

Abstract

An apparatus for estimating a location of a contamination source in a designated space includes a processor, and a memory operatively connected to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to measure a concentration of a contaminant diffusing from the contamination source within the designated space by using at least one sensor and estimate the location of the contamination source based on the measured concentration, where the instructions cause the processor to estimate the location of the contamination source by using a neural network trained to output the location of the contamination source when the measured concentration is input.
