Remote sensing has become a crucial part of our daily lives, whether it be from triangulating our location using GPS or providing us with a weather forecast. It has multiple applications in domains such as military, socio-economical, commercial, and even in supporting humanitarian efforts. This work proposes a novel technique for the automated geo-location of Oil & Gas infrastructure with the use of Active Fire Data from the NASA FIRMS data repository & Deep Learning techniques; achieving a top accuracy of 90.68% with the use of ResNet101.
