A single image deep learning approach to restoration of corrupted remote sensing products (2004.04209v1)

Abstract: Remote sensing images are used for a variety of analyses, from agricultural monitoring, to disaster relief, to resource planning, among others. The images can be corrupted due to a number of reasons, including instrument errors and natural obstacles such as clouds. We present here a novel approach for reconstruction of missing information in such cases using only the corrupted image as the input. The Deep Image Prior methodology eliminates the need for a pre-trained network or an image database. It is shown that the approach easily beats the performance of traditional single-image methods.
