Description
Summary:Sky/cloud images captured by ground-based Whole Sky Imagers (WSIs) are extensively used now-a-days for various applications. In this paper, we learn the semantics of sky/cloud images, which allows an automatic annotation of pixels with different class labels. We model the various labels/classes with a continuous-valued multi-variate distribution. Using a set of training images, the distributions for different labels are learnt, and subsequently used for labeling test images. We also present a method to determine the number of clusters. Our proposed approach is the first for multi-class sky-cloud image annotation and achieves very good results
