Short summary
Sky imager cameras provide a full view of the sky with high spatial and temporal resolution and are used to derive cloud cover, cloud type or cloud-base height, if employed in a stereo configuration.
The application of a dense fisheye stereo method provides dense, consistent and quite complete 3-D cloud boundaries and can be fully automated. We present validation of our approach and cloud examples with high geometric complexity. Applications are radiative closure studies and cloud dynamics.
Sky imager cameras provide a full view of the sky with high spatial and temporal resolution and...
