AUTOMATIC METHANE PLUME QUANTIFICATION USING SENTINEL-2 TIME SERIES
Résumé
Methane emissions monitoring is essential to control methane pollution. In this paper, we propose an automatic practical methodology using time series to estimate the quantity of methane in a given plume using a multispectral satellite like Sentinel-2. Sentinel-2 proposes a low revisit time, a good spatial resolution and a low acquisition cost. Contrary to previous methods, the proposed approach does not require a manual selection of an optimal reference image. We compared its performance on an oil-and-gas site in Kazakhstan. This is the first step toward an automatic global monitoring system for methane plume detection and quantification with these satellites.
