Cloud Detection in Aerospace Imagery of Environmental Monitoring

Abstract

In this paper, the problem of cloud detection in the processing of aerospace images is considered for further use of images in monitoring systems for natural complexes. The existing methods of cloudiness recognition on aerospace images are analyzed, an approach based on an admissible range of values is proposed for solving a particular class of problems. An experimental comparison of the algorithms is carried out, and on the basis of the results obtained, the effectiveness of the proposed method is determined. An approach is identified for the most complete removal of cloudiness from the image.
