  • Abstract
    We assess the use of an approximation to the Bayes factor for objectively assessing spatial segmentation models. The Bayes factor allows us to automatically determine thresholds, in multidimensional feature space, for such objectives as cloud mask definition. We compare our results with a cloud map currently provided as a data product.
