FLAME: Physics-Guided Neural Operators for Onboard Satellite Methane Detection in Hyperspectral Imagery

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2606.01577v1 Announce Type: new Methane is a major driver of near-term climate change, and rapidly identifying its emission sources is a critical climate intervention. Spaceborne hyperspectral imagery is the primary tool for this task, but the volume of data produced by each sensor makes ground-based detection impractical and necessitates onboard detection. Classical methods incur prohibitive computational cost on onboard hardware, while deep learning models are fast but fall short on detection quality.
