Man-Computer Interactive Method on Cloud Classification Based on Bispectral Satellite Imagery


doi: 10.1007/s00376-997-0058-1

  • A bispectral cloud classification method based on man-computer interactive way, i.e. a unit feature space clasification method (UFSCM), has been presented in this paper. Apart from land and water, six types of clouds including cumulonimbus, multilayer cloud system, thin / think cirrus, middle and low level clouds are recognized. The method has been tested by using more than two hundred samples, with total accuracy reaching 87.1%.
