Modeling Detailed Cloud Scene from Multi-source Images

Realistic cloud is essential for enhancing the quality of computer graphics applications, such as flight simulation. Data-driven method is an effective way in cloud modeling, but existing methods typically only utilize one data source as input. For example, natural images are usually used to model small-scale cloud with details, and satellite images and WRF data are used to model large scale cloud without details. To construct large-scale cloud scene with details, we propose a novel method to extract relevant cloud information from both satellite and natural images. Experiments show our method can produce more detailed cloud scene comparing with existing methods.
