Rainfall Prediction using Ground Based Cloud Images

Abstract

Clouds are one of the most important ways to predict rainfall. The state and types of clouds in the sky also have a significant impact on rainfall predictions. Accordingly, different specialists are keen on concentrating on clouds, one of the most interesting and significant parts of meteorology. The essential target of this paper is to utilize pictures of downpour creating clouds to make forecasts about precipitation. Using an image of clouds as input, it attempts to predict the anticipated rainfall. Based on their altitude, the cloud images in the dataset are divided into three groups: clouds at middle, high, and low elevations.
