• Abstract summary: High-resolution satellite imagery is a key element for many Earth monitoring applications. The lack of reliable high-resolution ground truth limits the application of deep learning methods to this task. We propose L1BSR, a deep learning-based method for single-image super-resolution and band alignment of Sentinel-2 L1B 10m bands.

• Abstract: High-resolution satellite imagery is a key element for many Earth monitoring applications. Satellites such as Sentinel-2 feature characteristics that are favorable for super-resolution algorithms such as aliasing and band-misalignment. Unfortunately the lack of reliable high-resolution (HR) ground truth limits the application of deep learning methods to this task. In this work we propose L1BSR, a deep learning-based method for single-image super-resolution and band alignment of Sentinel-2 L1B 10m bands. The method is trained with self-supervision directly on real L1B data by leveraging overlapping areas in L1B images produced by adjacent CMOS detectors, thus not requiring HR ground truth. Our self-supervised loss is designed to enforce the super-resolved output image to have all the bands correctly aligned. This is achieved via a novel cross-spectral registration network (CSR) which computes an optical flow between images of different spectral bands. The CSR network is also trained with self-supervision using an Anchor-Consistency loss, which we also introduce in this work. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach on synthetic and real L1B data, where we show that it obtains comparable results to supervised methods.

  Light field (LF) images acquired by hand-held devices usually suffer from low spatial resolution. The high-dimensionality characteristic and complex geometrical structure of LF images make the problem more challenging than traditional single-image SR. We propose a novel learning-based LF spatial SR framework to explore the coherence among LF sub-aperture images. Experimental results over both synthetic and real-world LF datasets demonstrate the significant advantage of our approach over state-of-the-art methods.
