Location Aware Super-Resolution for Satellite Data Fusion.

Satellite data fusion involves images with different spatial, temporal, and spectral resolution. These images are taken under different illumination conditions, with different sensors and atmospheric noise. We use classic super-resolution algorithms to synthesize commercial satellite images (Pleiades) from a public satellite source (Sentinel-2). Each super-resolution method is then further improved by adaptive sharpening to the location by use of matrix completion (regression with missing pixels). Finally, we consider ensemble systems and a residual channel attention dual network with stochastic dropout. The resulting systems are visibly less blurry with higher fidelity and yield improved performance.
