Automated Dust detection in satellite imagery

Low riskExact public inventory row

Description

Application of machine learning to the problem of night-time dust detection with a simple random forest (RF) model using Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-16 (GOES-16) Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) infrared imagery to identify dust in satellite imagery and output the probability dust is present

Detailed example

probability dust is present

AI / analytics pattern

Classical/Predictive Machine Learning: Models trained on data to make predictions or classifications based on identified patterns or relationships.

Automation level / stage

a) Pre-deployment – The use case is in a development or acquisition status.
