Methodology

The fact that the entire training set is taken from a single vantage point makes creating a generalized model that can be taken to other cityscapes difficult. To control for this, background subtraction methods will be employed in order to remove stationary objects from the frame. This is works as a noise attenuation method which both subtracts out irrelevant features for detecting plumes and removes a majority of the features that are specific to this cityscape and makes the model more generalizable.
