Walking on thin clouds challenge

Introduction: Unlocking the Skies ️
Prepare to dive into the vast world of satellite imagery data, courtesy of the European Copernicus project and the OpenDataCube (ODC). These incredible resources open doors to countless possibilities, from harnessing classical Machine Learning (ML) to deploying cutting-edge Deep Learning (DL) models.

But here's the twist! The sky's not always clear in the satellite world. Cloud occlusion is a formidable foe, lurking in the background, ready to disrupt your analysis. Can you detect it? Can you predict Cloud Optical Thickness (COT)? This is the challenge we pose to you!
