Abstract
Embodiments can facilitate performing a localized weather analysis for a portion of a sky. For achieving this, optical sensors can be placed in a capture grid network to capture images of the sky portion. The capture grid network may be logically divided into grids. The images captured by the optical sensors may include meta information indicating time and locations on the capture grid network the images were captured. The images can be combined to obtain wide-view images for the sky portion at various points of time. The wide-view images can be used to perform weather analysis such as cloud analysis.
