The invention relates to a time-space domain correlation prediction method for air
pollutant concentration, which comprises the steps of S1, constructing a prediction model based on a residual error network and a convolutional LSTM network by taking PM2.5 as a sample for target
pollutant prediction; s2, selecting appropriate training and testing data from the environment
monitoring data to complete initialization of the prediction model; s3, training the prediction model stage by stage to obtain a neural network prediction model capable of accurately predicting PM2.5; s4, selecting hyper-parameters (the number of
layers, the number of nodes and the learning rate) of the model by utilizing the
verification set until the model is optimal; and S5, carrying out urban PM2.5 prediction by utilizing the verified prediction model. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that the convolutional LSTM network is used as a middle layer, deep space-time association
feature extraction is performed on spatial features extracted by the bottom ResNet network, accordingly, the prediction performance of the
network model can be improved, the hidden state of the convolutional LSTM can be received by the aid of the full connection layer, and a final prediction result can be generated.
