Abstract

Recently, an adaptive method to partition and interpret satellite images for cloud classification has been presented. In this application, texture measures are used as features and the segmentation and classification is based the self-organizing process. The cloud classification system has been in operational use since September 1991. In this paper, performance characteristics obtained so far are presented.
