We present a proof-of-concept onboard cloud detection (CD) system for the precursore iperspettrale della missione applicativa (PRISMA) Second Generation (PSG) mission, which combines a secondary forward-looking RGB camera with deep learning (DL) models on a system-on-a-chip (SoC) field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The proposed system enables real-time cloud coverage assessment, optimizing primary hyperspectral (HS) payload data collection and supporting adaptive acquisition scheduling, offering an effective solution for enhancing onboard data processing in Earth observation (EO) missions…
