8年全天候云图数据集,带星定位与精确坐标校准,助力天文台实时云监测。

LenghuSky-8: An 8-Year All-Sky Cloud Dataset with Star-Aware Masks and Alt-Az Calibration for Segmentation and Nowcasting

  • 基于DINOv3特征训练线性探测器,夜间云分割准确率达93.3%
  • 每像素提供海拔方位校准,极区误差仅0.37度,30度角处1.34度
  • 公开数据集+工具链,支持云图分割与短期预测研究

地面时域天文台需分钟级、站点级的云况感知。现有全天候数据集多为短周期、偏白天或缺乏天体测量校准。本文发布LenghuSky-8,来自优质天文台的八年(2018–2025)全天摄影数据集,包含429,620张512×512帧,夜间覆盖率达81.2%,并提供星敏感云掩膜、背景掩膜及逐像素高度-方位(Alt-Az)校准。为实现昼夜及月相下鲁棒的云分割,我们在DINOv3局部特征上训练线性探测器,在1,111张人工标注的平衡图像集上取得93.3%±1.1%的整体准确率。利用恒星星历,将每像素映射至本地高程方位坐标,测得仰角0°处约0.37度、30°处约1.34度的校准误差,足以集成至望远镜调度系统。除分割外,我们构建了基于像素级三分类逻辑值(天空/云/污染)的短时预报基准,涵盖四种基线:持续性(复制前一帧)、光流法、ConvLSTM与VideoGPT。ConvLSTM表现最佳但仅略优于持续性,凸显近景云演变预测之难。我们开源数据集、校准结果及可直接用于调度系统的工具包,推动分割、预报与自主天文台运行研究。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Ground-based time-domain observatories require minute-by-minute, site-scale awareness of cloud cover, yet existing all-sky datasets are short, daylight-biased, or lack astrometric calibration. We present LenghuSky-8, an eight-year (2018-2025) all-sky imaging dataset from a premier astronomical site, comprising 429,620 $512 \times 512$ frames with 81.2% night-time coverage, star-aware cloud masks, background masks, and per-pixel altitude-azimuth (Alt-Az) calibration. For robust cloud segmentation across day, night, and lunar phases, we train a linear probe on DINOv3 local features and obtain 93.3% $\pm$ 1.1% overall accuracy on a balanced, manually labeled set of 1,111 images. Using stellar astrometry, we map each pixel to local alt-az coordinates and measure calibration uncertainties of approximately 0.37 deg at zenith and approximately 1.34 deg at 30 deg altitude, sufficient for integration with telescope schedulers. Beyond segmentation, we introduce a short-horizon nowcasting benchmark over per-pixel three-class logits (sky/cloud/contamination) with four baselines: persistence (copying the last frame), optical flow, ConvLSTM, and VideoGPT. ConvLSTM performs best but yields only limited gains over persistence, underscoring the difficulty of near-term cloud evolution. We release the dataset, calibrations, and an open-source toolkit for loading, evaluation, and scheduler-ready alt-az maps to boost research in segmentation, nowcasting, and autonomous observatory operations.
