The researchers proposed the UnorthoDOS dataset and method, aimed at training machine learning models to directly process uncropped hyperspectral images, replacing traditional ground-based processing procedures. This study utilized EMIT sensor data and trained the methane detection model using the U-Net model on uncropped images, achieving an average intersection over union (IoU) of 16.91%, which is close to 18.47% for cropped data, and significantly better than the mag1c matching filter baseline (IoU 4.76%). Additionally, FP16 compression reduced the model size by half, with an output deviation of less than 0.3%, demonstrating its feasibility for satellite onboard deployment. The trained machine learning models, two sets of ML-ready datasets, and code have been made available on Hugging Face and GitHub.
