Closed access Metadata (CSL-JSON)
DOI 10.1117/12.2536479
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Algorithm of Ramer–Douglas–Peucker for piecewise approximation was used for image multilevel segmentation. The cumulative histogram was chosen as a function for approximation. The developed algorithm was applied to the satellite map images to divide clouds of different intensity. The map images of clouds with different intensity were clustered to obtaine cloudiness values and classification.
