Resumo:
Clouds are important in weather prediction, climate studies and aviation safety. Important parameters include cloud height, type and cover percentage. In this paper, the recent improvements in the development of a low-cost cloud height measurement setup are described. It is based on stereo vision with consumer digital cameras. The cameras positioning is calibrated using the position of stars in the night sky. An experimental uncertainty analysis of the calibration parameters is performed. Cloud height measurement results are presented and compared with LIDAR measurements.
