• Abstract: For satellite images, the presence of clouds presents a problem as clouds obscure more than half to two-thirds of the ground information. This problem causes many issues for reliability in a noise-free environment to communicate data and other applications that need seamless monitoring. Removing the clouds from the images while keeping the background pixels intact can help address the mentioned issues. Recently, deep learning methods have become popular for researching cloud removal by demonstrating promising results, among which Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) have shown considerably better performance. In this project, we aim to address cloud removal from satellite images using AttentionGAN and then compare our results by reproducing the results obtained using traditional GANs and auto-encoders. We use RICE dataset. The outcome of this project can be used to develop applications that require cloud-free satellite images. Moreover, our results could be helpful for making further research improvements.

  We propose a method to reconstruct point clouds from few images and to denoise point clouds from their rendering. To improve reconstruction in constraint settings, we regularize the training of a differentiable with hybrid surface and appearance. We demonstrate how these learned filters can be used to remove point cloud noise coming without 3D supervision.
