• Abstract: The near-infrared (NIR) spectral range (from 780 to 2500 nm) of the multispectral remote sensing imagery provides vital information for the landcover classification, especially concerning the vegetation assessment. Despite the usefulness of NIR, common RGB is not always accompanied by it. Modern achievements in image processing via deep neural networks allow generating artificial spectral information, such as for the image colorization problem. In this research, we aim to investigate whether this approach can produce not only visually similar images but also an artificial spectral band that can improve the performance of computer vision algorithms for solving remote sensing tasks. We study the generative adversarial network (GAN) approach in the task of the NIR band generation using just RGB channels of high-resolution satellite imagery. We evaluate the impact of a generated channel on the model performance for solving the forest segmentation task. Our results show an increase in model accuracy when using generated NIR comparing to the baseline model that uses only RGB (0.947 and 0.914 F1-score accordingly). Conducted study shows the advantages of generating the extra band and its implementation in applied challenges reducing the required amount of labeled data.

  Image super-resolution (SR) aims to reconstruct high-resolution (HR) images from their low-resolution (LR) counterparts. Current approaches to address SR tasks are either dedicated to extracting RGB image features or assuming similar degradation patterns. We propose a Contourlet refinement gate framework to restore infrared modal-specific features while preserving spectral distribution fidelity.

  Key bottleneck in object detection in IR images is lack of sufficient labeled training data. We seek to leverage cues from the RGB modality to scale object detectors to the IR modality, while preserving model performance in the RGB modality. We first pretrain these factor matrices on the RGB modality, for which plenty of training data are assumed to exist and then augment only a few trainable parameters for training on the IR modality to avoid over-fitting.
