Abstract


In this article a method of image processing used to extract the different regions of clouds, from infrared images, visible images and water vapour images of satellite METEOSAT Second Generation MSG is presented. This research addresses one of the main problems of vision by computer, image segmentation, using a new strategy called eagle strategy. The results obtained have showed the effectiveness of this strategy.
