Greenbelt, MD – January 2025

GAMA-1 Technologies is proud to announce that Haibing Sun, a key member of our team, will present his groundbreaking research, “Anomaly Detection and Classification in NOAA Satellite Imagery with Deep Learning,” at the American Meteorological Society’s (AMS) 105th Annual Meeting. The presentation is part of the 21st Annual Symposium on Operational Environmental Satellite Systems, scheduled from January 12 to 16, 2025, in New Orleans, Louisiana, and online.

Haibing Sun’s presentation will take place during the 21OESS Posters III session on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, at 3:00 PM Central.

Abstract Highlights: Transforming NOAA Satellite Data with Deep Learning

• Satellite imagery from NOAA’s GOES ABI and NPP/J1/J2 VIIRS systems plays a critical role in monitoring hazards and supporting weather forecasting. However, visual anomalies—ranging from predictable issues linked to satellite maintenance to rare, random occurrences—often disrupt operations and impair the interpretation of imagery. Traditional methods of anomaly detection rely heavily on manual visual inspection and ancillary data, making them prone to error, complex, and time-intensive.
  To address these challenges, Haibing Sun has spearheaded the development of a binary classification deep learning model to automatically detect anomalies in NOAA satellite imagery. This work is now expanding to a multilabel model that identifies not just the presence of anomalies but also classifies their types and causes. By leveraging a curated training dataset and sophisticated evaluation methods, this innovative approach enhances anomaly detection accuracy, offering NOAA and its stakeholders a robust, efficient solution.
  Key elements of the research include:
  • Deep Learning Advancements: Transitioning from binary to multilabel classification for nuanced anomaly detection and classification.
  • Data-Driven Insights: Analyzing training datasets, model performance, and anomaly classification outcomes.
  • Epoch Optimization: Exploring the balance between underfitting and overfitting to achieve optimal prediction accuracy through techniques like early stopping.

GAMA-1’s Commitment to Innovation

This presentation underscores GAMA-1’s dedication to advancing environmental science through cutting-edge AI and machine learning solutions. By empowering NOAA and its partners with innovative tools, we continue to strengthen the operational reliability and efficiency of critical satellite systems.
Join us in supporting Haibing Sun’s important contribution to the field of operational environmental satellite systems. His work not only demonstrates the transformative power of AI but also reflects GAMA-1’s unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation.
