Cloud Detection

Using the PVIFS-02 whole-sky imagers, we collected 500,000 independent cloud images from 2021 to 2023, captured in a southern city and a northern city in China. The cloud images collected in southern China are clear, with obvious cloud edges. In contrast, the cloud images from northern China appear relatively blurred. This difference is attributed to the geographical characteristics of northern China, where regions are frequently affected by sand and dust, leading to a certain degree of image blurring. It brings challenges to cloud detection and classification.

Two novel datasets GF1MS-WHU and GF2MS-WHU are introduced for cloud detection. The GF1MS-WHU dataset consists of 141 unlabeled and 33 well-annotated 8-m Gaofen-1 multispectral (GF1-MS) images. Furthermore, the GF2MS-WHU dataset includes 163 unlabeled and 29 well-annotated 4-m Gaofen-2 multispectral (GF2-MS) images. Based on the labeled images in the two datasets, a total of 10428 and 21917 fully labeled image patches are available.
