An RGB channel operation for removal of the difference of atmospheric scattering and its application on total sky cloud detection

The inhomogeneous sky background presents a great challenge for accurate cloud recognition from the total-sky images. A channel operation was introduced in this study to produce a new composite channel in which the difference of atmospheric scattering has been removed and a homogeneous sky backgroun...
