Advances in microbolometer detectors have led to the development of infrared cameras that
operate without active temperature stabilization. The response of these cameras varies with …

The energy available in a solar energy powered grid is uncertain due to the weather
conditions at the time of generation. Forecasting global solar irradiance could address this …

Imaging the atmosphere with a thermal infrared camera can yield a rich variety of
information, ranging from the water-vapour content to the spatial distribution of clouds. Such …

The increasing penetration of photovoltaic systems in the power grid makes it vulnerable to
cloud shadow projection. Real-time cloud segmentation in ground-based infrared images is …

Cloud segmentation plays a very important role in astronomical observatory site selection. At
present, few researchers segment cloud in nocturnal all-sky imager (ASI) images. This paper …

The formation and evolution of clouds are associated with their thermodynamical and
microphysical progress. Previous studies have been conducted to collect images using …

The Infrared Cloud Imager (ICI) is a ground-based thermal infrared imaging system that
measures spatial cloud statistics with a 320/spl times/240-pixel uncooled microbolometer …

We report the results of a multi-day diurnal study in which polarimetric and conventional
thermal imagery is recorded in the mid-and long-wave IR to identify and compare the …

云的地面观测是对本地天气进行实时监测的重要工作. 目前, 主要采用人工目测方法进行云的
地面观测, 无法准确提供夜间云的资料. 为了实现云的全天空昼夜自动监测 …

This paper describes the All Sky Infrared Visible Analyzer (ASIVA), a multi-purpose visible
and infrared sky imaging and analysis instrument whose primary function is to provide …
