Abstract

A software system for classifying 14 types of one-layer and convective clouds is presented; it is based on the use of neural network classifier and information on texture of MODIS satellite images with the spatial resolution of 250 m. The used classification algorithm and a modified method for its learning are described. The estimates of the generalizing capability of the developed classifier and the reliability of results of the cloud classification on the basis of test sample are discussed.
