Abstract

TC center location is important for weather forecast and TC analysis. However the appearance of TC centers has different shapes and sizes at different time. At different stages of TC lifetime, the difficulty of locating TC center is different. In order to improve the automatism and precision, we present a TC center location scheme for eye TCs and non-eye TCs. Fisher discriminant is used to segment TC so that we can get the binary image automatically and effectively. Since the cloud wall near the non-eye TC center is homocentric circle, Chan-Vese model is used to get TC contour. Experimental results on TCs show that our scheme can achieve an average error within 0.3 degrees in longitude/latitude in comparison with the best tracks by CMA and RSMC.
