Abstract

Severe thunderstorm prediction by analysis of cloud imageries is becoming an interesting area in research field. It causes destruction to daily life. Therefore correct prediction of severe thunderstorm has important significance. Here in this study Support Vector Machine (SVM) has been applied on cloud imageries for the prediction purpose. Colour is one of the most important features of image. Here colour has been considered as only feature for the classification purpose. Two sets of cloud imageries have been considered here, one for ‘squall days’ and another for ‘no squall days’. The imageries for squall days have been indicated by ‘1’ and ‘no squall days’ by ‘0’. The linear Support Vector Classifier (SVC) has been applied here for classification. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has been applied here for feature reduction purpose, which yields better result. This prediction has a lead time of 5–6 h which is enough to save society from devastation created by severe thunderstorm.
