Abstract

Automated detection of volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere can be achieved by applying pattern recognition analysis to passive infrared (IR) multispectral remote sensing data. However, obtaining analyte-active training data through field experiments is time-consuming and expensive. To address this issue, methodology has been developed for simulating radiance profiles acquired using a multispectral IR line-scanner mounted in a downward-looking position on a fixed-wing aircraft. The simulation strategy used Planck's radiation law and a radiometric model along with the laboratory spectrum of the target compound to compute the upwelling IR background radiance with the presence of the analyte within the instrumental field-of-view. By combining the simulated analyte-active radiances and field-collected analyte-inactive radiances, a synthetic training dataset was constructed. A backpropagation neural network was employed to build classifiers with the synthetic training dataset. Employing methanol as the target compound, the performance of the classifiers was evaluated with field-collected data from airborne surveys at two test fields.
