Abstract
A mechanism for determining atmospheric conditions from an image is described. A mechanism for determining atmospheric conditions includes determining an intensity value for pixels above and below the horizon in an image, calculating a slope between the intensity values for the pixels above the horizon, and a slope between the intensity values for the pixels below the horizon, and determining a difference between the slopes to determine the atmospheric conditions.
