Abstract :
Satellite imagery of weather patterns and meteorological information are used to develop a knowledge based weather image processing and classification system (KB/WIS). Wavelet and fractal methods are used to extract features from weather images. The features extracted are used to represent various weather patterns. The system is statistically trained to characterize and interpret weather patterns. The system is a composite of four components: image acquisition, image preprocessing and enhancement, feature extraction and selection, and weather inference engine. Complete architecture of the KB/WIS system including its applications is described
