Smart sensors apparatus for detecting environmental conditions. The smart sticker apparatus includes a radio frequency identification tag comprising a chip and a loop antenna, the loop antenna being configured to transmit sensor information to an external reader, a plurality of sensors configured to provide environmental data, each of the sensors further comprising a substrate having a proximal side and a distal side, wherein the proximal side of the substrate is mounted to the chip, a conductive ink trace disposed on the distal side of the substrate, and a resin fully enveloping the radio frequency identification tag and partially enveloping the distal side of the substrate.

Smart stickers: sensors for environmental conditions

A platform is positioned within an environment. The platform includes an image capture system connected to a controller implementing a neural network. The neural network is trained to associate visual features within the environment with a target object utilizing a known set of input data examples and labels. The image capture system captures input images from the environment and the neural network recognizes features of one or more of the input images that at least partially match one or more of the visual features within the environment associated with the target object. The input images that contain the visual features within the environment that at least partially match the target object are labeled, a geospatial position of the target object is determined based upon pixels within the labeled input images, and a class activation map is generated, which is then communicated to a supervisory system for action.
