Abstract

This paper investigates the application of a particular type of probabilistic neural networks, namely radial basis function (RBF) networks, to detecting cloud in NOAA/AVHRR images. Based on the images collected from the East China Sea, the paper compares the performance of RBF networks with that of traditional multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs). The main results show that RBF networks are able to handle complex atmospheric and oceano-graphic phenomena while MLPs could not. The internal representation of the RBF networks and MLPs are also detailed in this paper.
