Disclosed is a method and apparatus for detecting cloud features. The method comprises: obtaining image data (e.g. using a camera), the image data defining a plurality of pixels and, for each pixel, a respective luminance value; defining one or more intervals for the luminance values of the pixels; partitioning the image data into one or more image segments (502-508), each respective image segment (502-508) containing pixels having a luminance value in a respective interval; and classifying, as a cloud feature, each image segment (502-508) containing pixels having luminance value greater than or equal to a threshold luminance value (LT).
