Automatic Rain Detection System Based on Digital Images of CCTV Cameras Using Convolutional Neural Network Method

Abstract

The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has a duty to provide weather information including rainfall. BMKG has several types of rainfall gauges, but these are not evenly distributed across regions. The solution to increase the density of rainfall observations is to use existing sources to obtain weather information. This research uses Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) that is spread across the Jakarta area to produce information on rainy conditions. The method used is the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The image from CCTV will be used for the training and testing process, so as to get the best accuracy model. The results of this model will be used for rain detection on CCTV digital images. The rain detection process is carried out automatically and in real time. The results of the rain detection process will be displayed on the map according to the location where the CCTV was installed. This research has succeeded in making a CNN model for rain detection with a training accuracy of 98.8% and a testing accuracy of 96.4%, as well as evaluating the BMKG observation data, so it has an evaluation accuracy of 96.7%.
