• Abstract: In the field of remote sensing, the challenge of comparing images captured by disparate sensors is a common obstacle. This requires image translation -- converting imagery from one sensor domain to another while preserving the original content. Denoising Diffusion Implicit Models (DDIM) are potential state-of-the-art solutions for such domain translation due to their proven superiority in multiple image-to-image translation tasks in classic computer vision. However, these models struggle with large-scale multi-patch imagery, often focusing solely on small patches and resulting in inconsistencies across the full image. To overcome these limitations, we propose a novel method that leverages DDIM for effective optical image translation over large areas. Our approach is tailored to super-resolve large-scale low spatial resolution images into high-resolution equivalents from disparate optical sensors, ensuring uniformity across hundreds of patches. Extensive experiments with a dataset of paired Sentinel-II and Planet Dove images show that our approach provides precise domain adaptation and artifact reduction. Our technique preserves the image content while also improving radiometric (color) accuracy and feature representations. The outcome is a high-resolution large-scale image with consistent patches, vital for applications such as heterogeneous change detection (HCD). We present a unique training and testing algorithm rooted in DDIMs, a thorough image quality assessment, and a comparative study against the standard classifier-free guided DDIM framework and five other leading methods. The efficacy of our approach is further demonstrated by substantial enhancements in HCD tasks performed in the urban settings of Beirut, Lebanon, and Austin, USA.

  Most post-processing methods build a model of the nuisances from the target observations themselves. We propose to build the nuisance model from an archive of multiple observations by leveraging supervised deep learning techniques. We apply the proposed algorithm to several datasets from the VLT/SPHERE instrument, and demonstrate a superior precision-recall trade-off.

  Super-resolution (SR) and image generation are important tasks in computer vision and are widely adopted in real-world applications. Most existing methods, however, generate images only at fixed-scale magnification and suffer from over-smoothing and artifacts. Most relevant work applied Implicit Neural Representation (INR) to the denoising diffusion model to obtain continuous-resolution yet diverse and high-quality SR results. We propose a novel pipeline that can super-resolve an input image or generate from a random noise a novel image at arbitrary scales.
