SkyCam: A Dataset of Sky Images and their Irradiance values
share
Recent advances in Computer Vision and Deep Learning have enabled astonishing results in a variety of fields and applications. Motivated by this success, the SkyCam Dataset aims to enable image-based Deep Learning solutions for short-term, precise prediction of solar radiation on a local level. For the span of a year, three different cameras in three topographically different locations in Switzerland are acquiring images of the sky every 10 seconds. Thirteen high resolution images with different exposure times are captured and used to create an additional HDR image. The images are paired with highly precise irradiance values gathered from a high-accuracy pyranometer.
