Abstract
Daytime flaring detection using Landsat-8 multispectral data was inspired by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) nightfire detection work. A fast and semi-automated endmember extraction algorithm was employed to detect gas flares in several locations of Alberta. Most of the detected flaring locations matched with the flaring reports, Bing Maps Aerial, and Google Maps images. To our knowledge, this is the only advanced technique for detecting daytime gas flares.
