摘要

Cloud detection plays a significant role in various practices, such as weather forecasting, climate studies, etc. This paper presents an integrated approach called cloud-WAVECAP for ground-based cloud detection using a combination of wavelet and capsule networks. The proposed approach utilizes the wavelet’s multiscale analysis capability to detect significant cloud features at different resolutions. Meanwhile, the inherent capability of dynamic routing by the capsule network increases the model’s ability to capture hierarchical structures and spatial relationships within the clouds. The cloud-WAVECAP model applies two-level wavelet decomposition, followed by convolutional layers and the capsule network. This architecture integrates preprocessing, wavelet layers, and capsule layers to capture both low- and high-level features for accurate cloud classification. It excels in identifying different cloud types, which is vital for meteorological analysis. Cloud-WAVECAP is assessed using several metrics and outperforms Inception V3, VGGNet, Resnet50, EfficientNet-B7, achieving 98.42% precision, 98.48% recall, and 99.12% accuracy. Additionally, the model’s efficiency, measured by Floating Point Operations (FLOPs), is competitive, resulting in 1.5426 GIGA FLOPS compared to other methods.
