Total Sky Imager 
The Model TSI-880 Total Sky Imager (TSI) is an automatic,
full-color sky imager system that provides real-time display of
daytime sky conditions. At many sites, the accurate determination
of sky conditions is a highly desirable yet rarely attainable
goal. Traditionally, human observers reported sky conditions,
resulting in considerable discrepancies from subjective
observations. In practice, the use of human observers is not
always feasible due to budgetary constraints. The TSI-880 now
replaces the need for these human observers under all weather
conditions. Unlike the TSI-440 which require a NT
workstation to process their images, the TSI-880 is a
self-contained system which automatically processes images
internally and can be optionally teamed with YESDAQ to store data
from networks of remote imagers. In addition to present weather
and sky monitoring, it provides and automated real-time panoramic
image making it well suited for physical security
applications.
