Abstract
We have developed a novel approach to the extraction of cloud base height (CBH) from pairs of whole-sky imagers (WSIs). The core problem is to spatially register cloud fields from widely separated WSIs; this complete, triangulation provides the CBH measurements. The wide camera separation and the self-similarity of clouds defeats standard matching algorithms when applied to static views of the sky. In response, we use optical flow methods that exploit the fact that modern WSIs provide image sequences. We will describe the algorithm, a confidence metric for its performance, a method to correct the severe projective effects of the WSI camera, and results on real data.
