Abstract
A system for interpreting and classifying severe weather patterns is presented. The system uses several image-processing and pattern-recognition techniques to detect storms in satellite cloud cover imagery. It performs several basic satellite image-interpretation tasks, i.e. cloud boundary detection, cloud top temperature and height estimation, cloud systems motion analysis, and storm classification. Some preliminary results on actual satellite images are presented
