Abstract

If the luminance of the cloud is high, we can identify the cloud by the luminance threshold. If the variance of the cloud is high, we can identify the cloud by the frequency information. If the difference in brightness between the light and dark cloud of a picture is big, they are difficultly identified. However, this type of the cloud has an obvious edge. This paper presents a new algorithm on base of texture to identify the cloud.
