Cyclone Intensity Estimation System using Satellite Images

Abstract

Tropical cyclones are big storms that can cause a lot of damage. Cyclone intensity estimation plays a vital role in disaster preparedness, response, and mitigation strategies. This paper introduces a novel approach to estimating cyclone intensity using satellite images through a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model. Unlike previous methods, we employ advanced techniques such as histogram analysis for feature extraction and adaptive thresholding for image segmentation using mean, Gaussian, and Otsu methods. The model also predicts potential coverage distance. Additionally, we present a user-friendly visualization portal, a pioneering effort in this field, which displays the deep learning output along with contextual information for end-users
