  • Abstract
    Land-based cloud-classification resolves details which are unavailable in operational satellite imagery. In this study, the emphasis is on single-channel image processing employing convolution masks and statistical measures. Experimental results of classification are examined as a means of deriving simplified cloud amount and class encoding similar to the internationally accepted practice
