As cloud can significantly affect image qualities in the earth studies
cloud detection plays an important role in analyzing satellite images.Much work has been done on it all over the world
these methods are suitable for large area
but sometimes the precision can’t meet the requirement.Based on the theory of remote sensing and digital filtering,We conduct statistical analysis on a local area (21.0°N~27.0°N
117.0°E~123.0°E).Through the statistic
characteristics and thresholds that are useful for the target area are found
which are Ref1
Ref6 and BT31.As a supplement
it selects Ref and BT31-BT32>Th31-32 to detect cirrus and thin cloud. At the end
the result is analyzed by comparing it with the outcome of MODIS operation arithmetic
which found this method improves the precision of cloud detection.
