Remote sensing study demonstrates automated extraction of active offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, highlighting scalable support for marine carbon emission monitoring.
The acquisition of spatial distribution information on active offshore oil/gas platforms (AOOP) is of importance for effective ocean management and the comprehensive study on marine carbon emissions. In recent years, the methodological framework for AOOP extraction using low-light remote sensing imagery has emerged as a novel and promising approach. Consequently, in this study, we utilized high-resolution low-light images obtained from the Glimmer Imager (GLI) payload aboard the Sustainable Development Goals Science Satellite 1 (SDGSAT-1) to facilitate the automatic extraction of AOOP. We applied a time-series low-light remote sensing (TLLRS) method for automatic extraction of AOOP in the northern Gulf of Mexico for the year 2022. The results indicate that the TLLRS method achieves a remarkable precision rate of 95.31% in the automatic extraction of AOOP, with an overall accuracy of 84.92%. Our findings demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of applying SDGSAT-1 GLI data to monitor AOOP at large-scale.
