PREDICTION OF RAINFALL USING IMAGE PROCESSING
Keywords:
Cloud, Image, Rainfall, File, PCA, SkyAbstract
The onset of monsoon is eagerly awaited in the Indian sub-continents as it has deep impact in the economic
& social domain. Considering the cost factor & security issues, it is now possible to use digital cloud imagery to monitor
the different parameters which affect or get affected by the monsoon in a more global scale. Digital cloud images are
collected & stored as JPEG files and are used to recognize sky status, cloud status & cloud type using contourlet or pca,
Cloud screening algorithm & image segmentation method respectively. After that, information about the cloud that is
height, altitude, classification & appearance is provided which helps in finding the status of rainfall. Previous research
data about the basic characters of cloud like shape, color, texture, edge are used to recognize the status of rainfall.
Common people can get the desired detail regarding status of rainfall by just taking a photograph utilizing this
technique
