Explicit basis function kernel methods for cloud segmentation in infrared sky images

Photovoltaic systems are sensitive to cloud shadow projection, which needs to be forecasted to reduce the noise impacting the intra-hour forecast of global solar irradiance. We present a comparison between different kernel discriminative models for cloud detection. The models are solved in the prima...
