CloudU-Net: A Deep Convolutional Neural Network Architecture for Daytime and Nighttime Cloud Images’ Segmentation

Cloud segmentation is one of the hot tasks in the field of weather forecast, environmental monitoring, site selection for observatory, and other areas. In this letter, we proposed a new deep convolutional neural network architecture called CloudU-Net for daytime and nighttime cloud images’ segmentation. The net consists of dilated convolution, activation, batch normalization (BN), max pooling, ups...
