EASI Modelling Algorithms for Aerosol-Cloud Distribution Analysis

Algorithms to distinguish between clouds and aerosols are important in the environmental and remote sensing study. The colour-modulated image from cloud aerosol lidar and infrared pathfinder satellite observation (CALIPSO) has been analysed in this study. CALIPSO is currently obtaining global aerosol and cloud measurements from space. We study the possibility to apply EASI modelling algorithms to differentiate aerosols and clouds in the CALIPSO image. This image processing method has shown good outcome for visualization analysis.
