Abstract:

Satellite images using multiple wavelengths channels provides measurements of a wide area, which can be crucial for understanding the nature of pollution generation and transport. They can be, however, masked by the presence of the cloud in the area and contain many missing cells. In this paper, we propose a method to impute the missing cells in satellite images by taking into account for pollution transport by wind. The proposed method incorporates a fundamental physics equation to construct the covariance structure. To mitigate computational challenges due to a large number of spatial locations we adapt stochastic gradient descent based on randomly sampled locations. We demonstrate the benefit of our methodology through a case study.
