Polar Nighttime Cloud Detection Using an Artificial Neural Network
Low riskExact public inventory row
Description
An artificial neural network is applied that addresses the difficult problem of accurately detecting clouds at night over snow- and ice-covered areas in polar regions from satellite imager data.
Detailed example
detecting clouds at night over snow- and ice-covered areas
AI / analytics pattern
Computer Vision: AI that processes and interprets visual data (e.g., images and videos).
Automation level / stage
a) Pre-deployment – The use case is in a development or acquisition status.
Expected benefit
An artificial neural network is applied that addresses the difficult problem of accurately detecting clouds at night over snow- and ice-covered areas in polar regions from satellite imager data.
