Segmentation-based multi-pixel cloud optical thickness retrieval using a convolutional neural network

<p>We introduce a new machine learning approach to retrieve cloud optical thickness (COT) fields from visible passive imagery. In contrast to the heritage independent pixel approximation (IPA), our convolutional neural network (CNN) retrieval takes the spatial context of a pixel into account a...
