Nocturnal Lights: object-oriented catalog of the nighttime Earth light sources

Various technogenic and natural objects and events produce enough radiance in the visible and infrared spectra to be observable from space. This paper presents a system aiming to become a near-real time catalog of such objects and events. The system is using publicly available VIIRS multispectral se...

Description
Summary:Various technogenic and natural objects and events produce enough radiance in the visible and infrared spectra to be observable from space. This paper presents a system aiming to become a near-real time catalog of such objects and events. The system is using publicly available VIIRS multispectral sensor nighttime imagery data provided by Suomi-NPP and NOAA-20 satellites. The described system gathers multiple imagery processing algorithms providing the means to extend the algorithm collection and organize it’s execution on both receiving stations and computational clusters.
