Abstract
A method and apparatus for tracking of organized storms using weather radar images. An image filter approximating the envelope of the organized storm radar image is used to improve tracking of the large scale storm features. The image filter is repeatedly rotated to different orientations at each point in the weather radar images to produce filtered images. The filtered images are provided to an image tracker to generate an array of track vectors. Application of the array of track vectors to the unfiltered image generates a predicted weather radar image.
