Monitoring Snow Cover Area Using Different Algorithms on Indian Remote Sensing Data

Snow and Cloud Discrimination Using Convolutional Neural Networks

“…Apart from hydrological aspects, detailed snow cover maps are also utilised in weather forecasting and military operations (Miller, Lee, & Fennimore, 2005). Thus, understanding the spatial extent of snow has a variety of applications in the cryosphere paradigm (Allen, Rastner, Arora, Huggel, & Stoffel, 2015;Birajdar, Venkataraman, & Samant, 2016;Man, Guo, Liu, & Dong, 2014;Mankin et al, 2015;Tedesco, 2015;Tekeli, Sönmez, & Erdi, 2016;Zhan et al, 2017).…”

“…With the advent of newly developed remote sensing techniques, a multitude of research works have been carried out to quantitatively assess and monitor the cryospheric elements. These include snow depth and snow water equivalent estimation, measuring snow cover extent, snow wetness, distinguishing cloud and snow and several other related studies (Birajdar et al, 2016;Crane & Anderson, 1984;Deems, Painter, & Finnegan, 2013;Gao, Han, Tsay, & Larsen, 1998;Kulkarni, Singh, Mathur, & Mishra, 2006;Li, Wang, He, & Man, 2017;Man et al, 2014;Mankin et al, 2015;Srinivasulu & Kulkarni, 2004;Tekeli et al, 2016;Thakur, Garg, Aggarwal, Garg, & Shi, 2013;Zhan et al, 2017).…”
