• Abstract: Methane emissions from livestock, particularly cattle, significantly contribute to climate change. Effective methane emission mitigation strategies are crucial as the global population and demand for livestock products increase. We introduce Gasformer, a novel semantic segmentation architecture for detecting low-flow rate methane emissions from livestock, and controlled release experiments using optical gas imaging. We present two unique datasets captured with a FLIR GF77 OGI camera. Gasformer leverages a Mix Vision Transformer encoder and a Light-Ham decoder to generate multi-scale features and refine segmentation maps. Gasformer outperforms other state-of-the-art models on both datasets, demonstrating its effectiveness in detecting and segmenting methane plumes in controlled and real-world scenarios. On the livestock dataset, Gasformer achieves mIoU of 88.56%, surpassing other state-of-the-art models. Materials are available at: github.com/toqitahamid/Gasformer.

  Methane (CH_4) is a potent anthropogenic greenhouse gas, contributing 86 times more to global warming than Carbon Dioxide (CO_2) over 20 years. This work expands existing information on operational methane point source detection sensors in the Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) bands. It reviews the state-of-the-art for traditional as well as Machine Learning (ML) approaches.

  Deep learning can identify the locations and characteristics of methane sources. There is a substantial lack of publicly available data to enable machine learning researchers and practitioners to build automated mapping approaches. We construct a multi-sensor dataset called METER-ML containing 86,625 georeferenced NAIP, Sentinel-1, and Sentinel-2 images in the U.S. We find that our best model achieves an area under the precision recall curve of 0.915 for identifying concentrated animal feeding operations and 0.821 for oil refineries and petroleum terminals on an expert-labeled test set.
