New ML framework accurately detects clouds using infrared data

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new machine learning framework called the Cloud Identification Support Vector Machine (CISVM) for detecting clouds using infrared atmospheric sounding data. This supervised approach exclusively utilizes hyperspectral infrared radiances and achieves an 88.52 percent agreement with an operational cloud reference. The CISVM framework offers insights into how surface properties, seasonality, and geography affect cloud detection and serves as a baseline for future infrared missions, including the European Space Agency's FORUM.
