Detecting Nighttime Anomalies from NASA Black Marble Using a Generalized Spatio-Temporally Robust Framework of Machine Leaning Ensembles
Nighttime lights from NASA's Black Marble product suite capture thermal and light emission signals from anomalous events including fires, volcanic eruptions, and gas flaring. Existing detection approaches rely primarily on thermal bands, limiting sensitivity to weaker signals. We propose a novel machine learning framework that jointly models Black Marble M-band and Day/Night Band (DNB) signals to derive a generalized, spatio-temporally robust ensemble of anomaly detectors. The framework iteratively builds detectors that scale across regions, seasons, anomaly classes, and extends over land and ocean. Detection sets at varying confidence levels are derived based on relevant bands and detect...
