Abstract

Reducing methane emissions is essential to tackle climate change. Here, we address the problem of detecting automatically point source methane leaks using high resolution hyperspectral images from the PRISMA satellite. We use a variation of the Matched Filter (MF) called the Adjusted Spectral Matched Filter (ASMF) to detect methane plumes in satellite images. To remove false positives, the detected plumes are confirmed by comparing their orientation to the wind direction extracted from the standard meteorological reanalysis product ERA5. The ASMF reduces the fraction of false detections compared to the MF and without preventing the detection of plumes. To validate the method, we use a recently proposed dataset of manually annotated plumes on PRISMA images. We also compare our detection rate to the detection rate of methods using deep learning or the standard matched filter. We then show that our method outperforms those methods in terms of F1 score.
