Abstract
ESA's Sentinel-2 satellites have been in orbit for six years, acquiring 
massive amounts of data all over the world. They are a formidable tool 
for mass detection as they are freely available and cover the entire 
world. Given their future role in the energetic transition and their 
spread over countries or continents, wind turbines are natural 
candidates for such studies. We detail the implementation of a 
single-date automatic wind turbine detector for low resolution optical 
satellite images based on an a contrario approach, exploiting the 
geometry of wind turbines' shadows and hubs.
