Abstract:
In this paper, we presented the application of the classifier combination technique to classify cloud systems, namely stratiform and convective systems. The data used come from the SEVIRI (Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infra-Red Imager) radiometric imager on board the MSG (Meteosat Second Generation) satellite. The methods were trained and evaluated with satellite and radar data of the rain event of October 10, 2018 in the south of France provided by Météo-France. This allowed us to evaluate and compare the performances for cloud identification of two methods frequently used in combination of classifiers
