Abstract
Pattern recognition methodology was developed for the automated detection of methanol vapour plumes from passive multispectral infrared remote sensing data. The data employed in this work were collected with an infrared line scanner equipped with eight spectral bandpass filters mounted in a downward-looking mode on a fixed-wing aircraft. An automated classifier was developed by the application of a backpropagation neural network to the calibrated, registered, and preprocessed radiances. Preprocessing steps were performed to optimize the inputs for the neural network, which included: (1) contrast enhancement by calculating the ratios of band intensities; (2) assembly of training data by use of the
-means clustering algorithm; (3) removal of temperature information from the measured radiance data; (4) feature extraction for identifying the most representative ratios of band intensities; and (5) optimization of the starting assumed emissivity value for the temperature and emissivity separation algorithm. The best classifier achieved an overall classification accuracy of 98.07% on the testing set with a false detection rate of 0.90% and a missed detection rate of 13.50%. The prediction performance of the optimized neural network was demonstrated through its application to 16 images not included in the training procedure.
