Abstract

Widespread use of high-resolution satellite images may be found in many fields and applications. Its ability to record the earth's surface in more detail benefits regional spatial management, natural resources and disaster monitoring, and several other fields. The smaller coverage is unfortunate if areas are not visible due to cloud contamination. The presence of clouds can reduce or even eliminate the information in the image. Cloud detection on high-resolution images is a challenge because this image only has four channels: blue, green, red, and NIR. While the thermal channel, which is often used to detect the presence of clouds, is not owned by this image. This study proposes a method to identify clouds in high-resolution satellite imagery based on this limitation. The cloud detection software in this paper uses U-Net version 1.0. This software can be executed on a server or personal computer (PC). The model applied to the Dice coefficient and IoU to know how the segmentation model performs. The results of this cloud detection process are cloud detection raster data. This software generates the percentage of clouds in an image as a.txt file. The dice model is recommended for the cloud detection method based on the accuracy assessment. Users can utilize these results, especially in overcoming cloud constraints on high-resolution satellite imagery. This software is expected to fulfill the needs of remote-sensing data users. © 2024 Author(s).
