All Sky Imager

1、 Product Overview

All Sky ImagerUsing a high-precision fisheye lens, the cloud distribution in the entire sky is automatically recorded without any sun obstruction or direct sunlight, saving images of the cloud distribution in the sky. The protective glass adopts a hard coated dome to protect the lens from weather and prevent damage to the CCD measuring element from sunlight.

The equipment installation is simple, modular, and can use ventilation and heating devices, without affecting the imaging device due to weather changes. Analyze clear skies, hemisphere cloud cover, thick and thin clouds, cloud cover on the horizon, and artificial horizon above cloud cover.

The cloud base height software provides the possibility, and real-time evaluation of cloud height and data (latitude, longitude, and altitude) on-site is stored with each individual CMS image. This product has dynamic analysis function, which can clearly record the distribution of sky cloud shape and cloud amount during daylight hours, and automatically save it to the local machine for comparison and analysis. It can also be uploaded to the cloud for cloud information recognition through AI algorithms. It can be widely applied in fields such as meteorology, transportation, marine research, and smart cities.

The imaging device has a wide viewing angle of 175 ° and high-resolution sensors, which can automatically record cloud information throughout the sky and convert it into quantitative cloud information through advanced cloud detection algorithms in the software. The imager can access the Internet through the standard network card, and transmit data to the server or monitoring computer through the network.

The imaging instrument control software integrates a horizon determination tool, providing users with flexibility and functional needs. For example, the software can be used to set the zenith angle range, ground cover area, or areas of interest to avoid the influence of inherent obstructions around the measurement station on the observation results. The imaging device also has good waterproof function.
