Cloud Feature Recognition and Area Location for Satellite Images Based on Information Entropy

Satellite images is the basis of the many subjects research. But usually, many satellite image were covered with cloud more or less.

Summary:Satellite images is the basis of the many subjects research. But usually, many satellite image were covered with cloud more or less. Cloud detection and recognition is very important for satellite analysis. In this paper, we focus on the cloud area recognition and edge detection, our method has two steps, one is cloud image detection, the second step is determine the area of the cloud. The methods include image histogram average and entropy analysis. In the experiment, we contrast cloud detection in different scale image, each one has each shape cloud. The experiment show our method can effectively detect the cloud and the cloud area can also be determined.
