Abstract
The disclosure concerns biometeorological sensing devices including a processor communicatively coupled to a memory, and a plurality of sensors communicatively coupled to the processor. The plurality of sensors includes a humidity sensor, a UV sensor, an anemometer, an atmospheric thermometer, a globe thermometer, and a camera. The device also includes a network interface communicatively coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to estimate a mean radiant temperature (MRT) using data received from the plurality of sensors, identify a person in an image received from the camera, determine a bounding box that encloses the person in the image, generate a shadow map from the image, calculate an intersection over union (IOU) of the bounding box with the shadow map to determine if the person is in the shade, and transmit observed space usage and estimated MRT to a server communicatively coupled to the network interface.
