Savoy","Yee Hui Lee","Stefan Winkler"],"abstract":"Cloud imaging using ground-based whole sky imagers is essential for a\nfine-grained understanding of the effects of cloud formations, which can be\nuseful in many applications. Some such imagers are available commercially, but\ntheir cost is relatively high, and their flexibility is limited. Therefore, we\nbuilt a new daytime Whole Sky Imager (WSI) called Wide Angle High-Resolution\nSky Imaging System. The strengths of our new design are its simplicity, low\nmanufacturing cost and high resolution. Our imager captures the entire\nhemisphere in a single high-resolution picture via a digital camera using a\nfish-eye lens. The camera was modified to capture light across the visible as\nwell as the near-infrared spectral ranges. This paper describes the design of\nthe device as well as the geometric and radiometric calibration of the imaging\nsystem.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1605.06595v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1605.06595v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"wahrsis-a-low-cost-high-resolution-whole-sky","repo_url":"https://github.com/Soumyabrata/WAHRSIS","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
