New method for fast, efficient and scalable cloud tomography

Phys.org  March 28, 2023 One way to study clouds is to use spaceborne imagers, but these imagers still face challenges of efficiency and scalability. Researchers in Israel have developed an effective inverse rendering framework for recovering the 3D distribution of clouds. They focused on clouds which have a key role in the climate system and require efficient analysis at a huge scale. Data for such reconstruction are multiview images of each cloud taken simultaneously. This acquisition mode is expected by upcoming future spaceborne imagers, such as Cloud Computed Tomography (CT). Prior art showed that scattering CT can rely on Monte–Carlo […]
