Cloud Removal

Free satellite imagery often contains a lot of clouds. Removing them by hand with the Clone Tool of an image manipulation program is a tiresome task.

Fortunately, there are better tools available. Resynthesizer is an amazing plug-in for Gimp, which makes removing objects from pictures a lot easier.

  1. Select the clouds by color
  2. Grow the selection by a few pixels to eliminate pixels that belong to the cloud, but

are too dark for 'select by color'

  1. Use the 'Script-Fu -> Enhance -> Smart Remove' tool


See an example before and after 'Smart Remove'
