Description

We report on the ongoing hardware and software developments to implement cloud screening in-orbit and in real-time. We leverage a Vision Processing Unit to accelerate state-of-art artificial Intelligence algorithms applied on hyperspectral and thermal imaging data. The instrument on which the developments are implemented is HyperScout-2, second generation of a very compact hyperspectral system already in space since Feb 2018. The experiments are expected to be carried out in orbit in third quarter 2019.
