Cover Story: Observation of the spatial distribution of cloud optical thickness (COT) is useful for the prediction and diagnosis of photovoltaic power generation. Using deep learning techniques, a convolutional neural network (CNN) has been trained based on synthetic spectral radiance data generated using a 3D atmospheric radiative transfer model, which enables the quick estimation of the COT distribution from the image of a ground-mounted radiometrically calibrated digital camera. The CNN retrieves the COT spatial distribution using spectral features and spatial contexts. Evaluation of the method using synthetic data and a comparison with the existing method shows promising results. Shown on the cover page are (left) synthetic camera images, (middle) ground truth COT, and (right) COT estimated by CNN. View this paper.
