Automatic Total Sky Imager

1.Automatic Total Sky Imager product overview

Automatic Total Sky Imager provides real-time digital sky images of daytime sky conditions and calculates the percentage of cloud cover in the sky.Automatic Total Sky Imager uses high-precision fisheye lenses to automatically record cloud-like distribution throughout the sky without sun occlusion device and direct sunlight, saving pictures of cloud distribution in the sky.The protective glass uses a hard coated dome to protect the lens from the weather and prevent sun exposure from damage to the CCD measuring element.

The equipment is simple to install and fully modularly installed.The equipment can adopt ventilation and heating devices, so that the imaging device will not be affected by weather changes.Analyze clear sky, hemisphere cloud cover, thick and thin clouds, artificial horizons covered by the horizon and cloud cover above the cloud cover.

The cloud bottom height software provides possibilities, and the cloud altitude and data (latitude, longitude and altitude) are evaluated in real time on site and stored with each individual CMS image.This product has dynamic analysis function, which can clearly record the distribution of cloud shape and cloud volume in the sky during the day, and automatically save it to the local machine for comparison and analysis, or upload it to the cloud to identify the cloud information through AI algorithms.It can be widely used in meteorology, civil aviation, transportation, marine research, smart cities and other fields.

The imager has a wide viewing angle of 175° and a high-resolution sensor, which can automatically record cloud conditions throughout the sky and convert it into quantitative cloud information through advanced cloud detection algorithms in the software.The imager can access the Internet through a standard network card and transmit data to a server or a monitoring computer through the network.

The imager control software integrates a horizon determination tool, providing users with flexibility and functional needs.For example, the software can set the zenith angle range, the ground object shielding area or the area of interest to avoid the impact of inherent masks around the station on the observation results.The imager also has good waterproofing.
