The paper reports the first on‑board detection of methane point source emissions using imaging spectroscopy data from the AVIRIS‑5 sensor during the Tokyo Field Campaign in March 2026. It describes how a compact machine‑learning model was deployed on the aircraft to predict potential trace‑gas events in real time, circumventing communication bottlenecks that prevent full data downlink during flight. The approach enables immediate identification of transient gas releases without waiting for ground‑based processing.

The paper introduces UnorthoDOS, a dataset and machine‑learning approach that enables methane plume detection directly on unorthorectified hyperspectral satellite imagery. Using U‑Net models trained on this data, the authors achieve performance close to models trained on orthorectified images (IoU 16.91% vs. 18.47%) and far surpass the traditional matched‑filter baseline (IoU 4.76%). They also demonstrate that FP16 compression can reduce model size by half with negligible loss in output accuracy, making onboard deployment feasible.

The paper presents a lightweight vision‑language encoder paired with a compact multi‑layer perceptron to estimate flare combustion efficiency from low‑cost thermal video. The trained model is deployed via a user‑friendly GUI that overlays efficiency values on each frame, tracks real‑time trends, visualizes distribution across the video, and exports CSV reports. In a six‑month trial, the system maintained 99% uptime with under 15 minutes of weekly maintenance.
