Abstract  

Cloud cover is the main factor affecting the quality of remote sensing image. Cloud detection for remote sensing images is one of the principal problems that must be solved in remote sensing data restoration processing. On the basis of extensive investigation of existing articles, the research status of cloud detection is analyzed, and then a classification and comprehensive overview of cloud detection methods is presented, the cloud detection methods for several kinds of commonly used satellite data are also given. By comparing the cloud detection methods, the existing problems and development trend of cloud detection method are discussed.
