When the current algorithm is used for quantitative remote sensing monitoring of air pollution, it takes a long time to monitor the air pollution data, and the obtained range coefficient is small. The error between the monitoring result and the actual result is large, and the monitoring efficiency is low, the monitoring range is small, and the monitoring accuracy rate is low. An artificial intelligence-based quantitative monitoring algorithm for air pollution is proposed. The basic theory of atmospheric radiation transmission is analyzed by atmospheric radiation transfer equation, Beer–Bouguer–Lambert law, parallel plane atmospheric radiation theory, atmospheric radiation transmission model, and electromagnetic radiation transmission model. Quantitative remote sensing monitoring of air pollution provides relevant information. The simultaneous equations are constructed on the basis of multiband satellite remote sensing data through pixel information, and the aerosol turbidity of the atmosphere is calculated by the equation decomposition of the pixel information. The quantitative remote sensing monitoring of air pollution is realized according to the calculated aerosol turbidity. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has high monitoring efficiency, wide monitoring range, and high monitoring accuracy.

In recent years, the acquisition of high-resolution multi-spectral images by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for quantitative remote sensing research has attracted more and more attention, and radiometric calibration is the premise and key to the quantification of remote sensing information. The traditional empirical linear method independently calibrates each channel, ignoring the correlation between spectral bands. However, the correlation between spectral bands is very valuable information, which becomes more prominent as the number of spectral channels increases. Based on the empirical linear method, this paper introduces the constraint condition of spectral angle, and makes full use of the information of each band for radiometric calibration. The results show that, compared with the empirical linear method, the proposed method can effectively improve the accuracy of radiometric calibration, with the improvement range of Mean Relative Percent Error (MRPE) being more than 3% in the range of visible band and within 1% in the range of near-infrared band. Besides, the method has great advantages in agricultural remote sensing quantitative inversion.
