  • Method of simulating the presence of clouds in a scene
    Patent number: 5489211
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of incorporating at least one copy of a real a cloud into a simulated or real two-dimensional scene by extracting the radiance and transmittance from a real cloud; converting the radiance and transmittance of the cloud to the radiance and transmittance of a desired material such as brass, aluminum, copper, or graphite; adding at least one copy of the resulting cloud to the simulated two-dimensional scene; and scaling each cloud in the simulated two-dimensional scene so that each cloud appears at a desired location. The present invention uses the Atmospheric Transmission Large-Area Analysis System to extract the radiance and transmittance of a real cloud. The present invention can also change the infrared image of a cloud by extracting the radiance and transmittance of the cloud at one wavelength of light.
