Abstract :
Thermal infrared images are quite useful in detection of convective clouds for meteorological purposes. Several techniques are available for the detection and tracking of clouds in satellite thermal infrared images. Temperature induced mean based cloud motion prediction model is one of them. But so far, it has been implemented for tracking single cloud cluster. In the present work this model is extended and applied for tracking of multiple cloud clusters so that it can be utilized for weather nowcasting.
