Estimation of microstructural parameters controlling clustering in different directions or a cloud scene is investigated. The cloud scene is represent.ed as a Markov ran~om field and the parameters are estimated by a maximum likelihood technique. A surrogate Image, corresp°!ldmg to each scene, is generated by a Monte-Carlo procedure. Results of analysing NOAA and INSA T cloud Images are presented
