Multi-Image Super-Resolution for Remote Sensing using Deep Recurrent Networks
High-resolution satellite imagery is critical for various earth observation applications related to environment monitoring, geoscience, forecasting, and land use analysis. However, the acquisition cost of such high-quality imagery due to the scarcity of providers and needs for high-frequency revisits restricts its accessibility in many fields. In this work, we present a data-driven, multi-image super resolution approach to alleviate these problems. Our approach is based on an end-to-end deep neural network that consists of an encoder, a fusion module, and a decoder. The encoder extracts co-registered highly efficient feature representations from low-resolution images of a scene. A Gated Re-current Unit (GRU)-based module acts as the fusion module, aggregating features into a combined representation. Finally, a decoder reconstructs the super-resolved image. The proposed model is evaluated on the PROBA-V dataset released in a recent competition held by the European Space Agency. Our results show that it performs among the top contenders and offers a new practical solution for real-world applications.
