Revolutionizing Cloud Motion Prediction With Combination Of 3D U-Net And Diffusion Models
Harnessing the power of conditional diffusion networks to predict short-term cloud motion from INSAT satellite imagery for enhanced weather nowcasting.
ISROnauts represents a cutting-edge approach to weather forecasting, leveraging advanced deep learning techniques to predict cloud motion patterns from satellite imagery. Our project addresses the critical challenge of short-term weather prediction (0-3 hours) by developing a sophisticated diffusion-based model that outperforms traditional optical-flow and physics-based methods.
Traditional weather forecasting methods struggle with:
- Complex, rapidly evolving cloud dynamics
- Severe weather nowcasting accuracy
- Real-time processing of multi-spectral satellite data
- Spatio-temporal pattern recognition in meteorological data
We've developed a conditional diffusion network that:
- Learns complex spatio-temporal patterns from INSAT-3DR/3DS satellite frames
- Generates realistic future cloud formations
- Provides accurate 0-3 hour weather forecasts
- Processes multi-spectral satellite imagery in real-time
- 3D UNet Diffusion Model: Custom-built architecture for satellite imagery
- Multi-spectral Processing: Handles multiple INSAT satellite bands
- Temporal Sequence Learning: Captures cloud evolution patterns
- Conditional Generation: Context-aware cloud motion prediction
- Real-time Processing: Sub-second inference for operational use
- Multi-resolution Support: Handles various satellite image resolutions
- Robust Performance: Maintains accuracy across diverse weather conditions
- Scalable Architecture: Designed for deployment at scale
- Latest Generated Images
- Weather Nowcasting: 0-3 hour precise weather predictions
- Severe Weather Warning: Early detection of storms and extreme weather
- Aviation Safety: Flight path optimization and safety alerts
- Agricultural Planning: Crop management and irrigation scheduling
- Renewable Energy: Solar and wind power generation forecasting
