Automatic Detection of Equatorial Plasma Bubbles in Airglow Images Using Two-Dimensional Principal Component Analysis and Explainable Artificial Intelligence
This study introduces a low-cost, automatic detection method for Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPBs) in All-Sky Imager (ASI) data. Utilizing Two-Dimensional Principal Component Analysis (2DPCA) with Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) and a Random Forest model, the proposed Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) model extracts image features efficiently. It achieves automated EPB detection with minimal dimensionality, resulting in a compact and fast-trained model suitable for real-time applications.
Key Finding for Your Enterprise:
The proposed XAI model achieved a detection accuracy of 98.17% for raw images and 97.35% for Radon-transformed images. It significantly outperformed deep learning baseline models in accuracy (e.g., 91.45% for ResNet18) and reduced training time by over 12x (3.03 min vs. 38.72 min for ResNet18), while also achieving model size reductions of up to 70%.

Unlocking Transparency: How XAI Refines EPB Detection
The XAI model, combining **2DPCA**, **RFE**, and **Random Forests**, provides transparent insights into EPB detection. While 2DPCA initially reduces high-dimensional image data into principal components, RFE, guided by Random Forest, then ranks these components based on their actual contribution to classification. This analysis revealed that components with smaller eigenvalues—like the 10th and 9th in Radon-transformed models (Figure 9c,d) or the 30th in raw image models (Figure 9a,b)—can be among the **highest contributors**, a non-intuitive finding. This methodology leads to an optimized model that maximizes accuracy while minimizing size, offering a robust and interpretable solution for critical applications.
