Title:
METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CALCULATING INFORMATION ON CLOUDS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/005461
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for automatically calculating information on clouds, wherein the method comprises: a first step of inputting a video image of the atmosphere including a cloud area; a second step of extracting the cloud area from the input video image; a third step of calculating the amount and heights of the clouds; a fourth step of analyzing the forms of the clouds through a cloud pattern using the calculated amount and heights of the clouds; and a fifth step of calculating the forms of the clouds for the upper, middle and lower clouds. According to the present invention, the forms of the clouds for the upper, middle and lower clouds can be automatically calculated using the amount and heights of the clouds which are calculated by analyzing the video image including the cloud image, thereby automatically obtaining objective observation data of the clouds for each level. The method for automatically calculating information on clouds according to the present invention can maximize observation efficiency through the automation of cloud observation and secure objective data with high resolution on the height and amount of the clouds which are uncertain, thereby significantly enhancing the technology of weather forecasting and climate change prediction.
