The color of the sky varies depending on the composition of the air. The particles lingering in the atmosphere scatter the components of the light based on their wavelength in relation to particle size. Thus, the color of the sky depends on what wavelengths are scattered while the light travels through our atmosphere.
By analyzing the color of the sky using computer image processing, it is possible to determine the quality of the air in an area. It is possible to classify pictures of the sky into clean or polluted air and have a computer estimate the category any other …
