Summary :

Texture feature descriptors such as local binary patterns (LBP) have proven effective for ground-based cloud classification. Traditionally, these texture feature descriptors are predefined in a handcrafted way. In this paper, we propose a novel method which automatically learns discriminative features from labeled samples for ground-based cloud classification. Our key idea is to learn these features through mutual information maximization which learns a transformation matrix for local difference vectors of LBP. The experimental results show that our learned features greatly improves the performance of ground-based cloud classification when compared to the other state-of-the-art methods.
