Abstract

A Fuzzy Inference System with the specialists' knowledge of meteorology is designed in this paper and its aims are detection of the cloud type through extracting knowledge from satellite images of the cloud upper portions. The used data are extracted from the reputable website of UCI called Cloud Data set. This dataset is gathered by Philip Collard in two ranges of IR and VISIBLE. Using the experts' knowledge, this system determines the type of cloud with an accuracy level of 86% and according to experts’ opinion; the results are suitable and acceptable.
