ee.Algorithms.Landsat.simpleCloudScore
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Computes a simple cloud-likelihood score in the range [0,100] using a combination of brightness, temperature, and NDSI. This is not a robust cloud detector, and is intended mainly to compare multiple looks at the same point for
relative cloud likelihood.
