• Abstract: The use of Sentinel-2 images to compute Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) has many applications, including water body area detection. However, cloud cover poses significant challenges in this regard, which hampers the effectiveness of Sentinel-2 images in this context. In this paper, we present a deep learning model that can generate NDWI given Sentinel-1 images, thereby overcoming this cloud barrier. We show the effectiveness of our model, where it demonstrates a high accuracy of 0.9134 and an AUC of 0.8656 to predict the NDWI. Additionally, we observe promising results with an R2 score of 0.4984 (for regressing the NDWI values) and a Mean IoU of 0.4139 (for the underlying segmentation task). In conclusion, our model offers a first and robust solution for generating NDWI images directly from Sentinel-1 images and subsequent use for various applications even under challenging conditions such as cloud cover and nighttime.

  This study uses nearly 10 million WV-mode images and contrastive self-supervised learning to train a semantic embedding model called WV-Net. In multiple downstream tasks, WV-Net outperforms a comparable model that was pre-trained on natural images with supervised learning. WV-Net embeddings are also superior in an unsupervised image-retrieval task and scale better in data-sparse settings.

  In absence of parallax cues, a learning-based single image depth estimation model relies heavily on shading and contextual cues in the image. It is necessary to train such models on large and varied datasets, which are difficult to capture. Using embeddings from pre-trained foundational models, such as CLIP, improves zero shot transfer in several applications.

  Single image deraining (SID) in real scenarios attracts increasing attention in recent years. Previous real datasets suffer from low-resolution images, homogeneous rain streaks, limited background variation, and even misalignment of image pairs. We establish a new high-quality dataset named RealRain-1k, consisting of $1,120$ high-resolution paired clean and rainy images with low- and high-density rain streaks, respectively.

  We propose two image restoration approaches: (i) Deep Image Prior (DIP), which trains a convolutional neural network (CNN) from scratch in test time using the degraded image; and (ii) a backprojection (BP) fidelity term, which is an alternative to the standard least squares loss that is usually used in previous DIP works. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, termed BP-DIP, on the deblurring task and show its advantages over the plain DIP, with both higher PSNR values and better inference run-time.
