Abstract

Contrails, formed by jet flights, alter Earth's energy balance, prompting research into monitoring contrails and developing satellite-based automated contrail detection. This demand has advanced deep learning (DL)-based techniques. However, training DL algorithms to detect contrails has limitations: class imbalance, labeling difficulty, and a lack of reliable labeled datasets. We propose a probabilistic DL approach using P-UNet to alleviate label bias in contrail detection. By observing model outputs based on two labeled datasets, OpenContrails and MIT-Contrails, we found the probabilistic approach robust against potentially biased labels.
