<div>Advances in the design of multi-spectral cameras have</div><div>led to great interests in a wide range of applications, from</div><div>astronomy to autonomous driving. However, such cameras</div><div>inherently suffer from a trade-off between the spatial and</div><div>spectral resolution. In this paper, we propose to address</div><div>this limitation by introducing a novel method to carry out</div><div>super-resolution on raw mosaic images, multi-spectral or</div><div>RGB Bayer, captured by modern real-time single-shot mo-</div><div>saic sensors. To this end, we design a deep super-resolution</div><div>architecture that benefits from a sequential feature pyramid</div><div>along the depth of the network. This, in fact, is achieved</div><div>by utilizing a convolutional LSTM (ConvLSTM) to learn the</div><div>inter-dependencies between features at different receptive</div><div>fields. Additionally, by investigating the effect of different</div><div>attention mechanisms in our framework, we show that a</div><div>ConvLSTM inspired module is able to provide superior at-</div><div>tention in our context. Our extensive experiments and anal-</div><div>yses evidence that our approach yields significant super-</div><div>resolution quality, outperforming current state-of-the-art</div><div>mosaic super-resolution methods on both Bayer and multi-</div><div>spectral images. Additionally, to the best of our knowledge,</div><div>our method is the first specialized method to super-resolve</div><div>mosaic images, whether it be multi-spectral or Bayer.</div><div><br></div>

The detection performance of small objects in remote sensing images is not satisfactory compared to large objects, especially in low-resolution and noisy images. A generative adversarial network (GAN)-based model called enhanced super-resolution GAN (ESRGAN) shows remarkable image enhancement performance, but reconstructed images miss high-frequency edge information. Therefore, object detection performance degrades for the small objects on recovered noisy and low-resolution remote sensing images. Inspired by the success of edge enhanced GAN (EEGAN) and ESRGAN, we apply a new edge-enhanced super-resolution GAN (EESRGAN) to improve the image quality of remote sensing images and used different detector networks in an end-to-end manner where detector loss is backpropagated into the EESRGAN to improve the detection performance. We propose an architecture with three components: ESRGAN, Edge Enhancement Network (EEN), and Detection network. We use residual-in-residual dense blocks (RRDB) for both the GAN and EEN, and for the detector network, we use the faster region-based convolutional network (FRCNN) (two-stage detector) and single-shot multi-box detector (SSD) (one stage detector). Extensive experiments on car overhead with context and oil and gas storage tank (created by us) data sets show superior performance of our method compared to the standalone state-of-the-art object detectors.

Images provided by the ESA Sentinel-2 mission are rapidly becoming the main source of information for the entire remote sensing community, thanks to their unprecedented combination of spatial, spectral and temporal resolution, as well as their associated open access policy. Due to a sensor design trade-off, images are acquired (and delivered) at different spatial resolutions (10, 20 and 60 m) according to specific sets of wavelengths, with only the four visible and near infrared bands provided at the highest resolution (10 m). Although this is not a limiting factor in general, many applications seem to emerge in which the resolution enhancement of 20 m bands may be beneficial, motivating the development of specific super-resolution methods. In this work, we propose to leverage Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to provide a fast, upscalable method for the single-sensor fusion of Sentinel-2 (S2) data, whose aim is to provide a 10 m super-resolution of the original 20 m bands. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed solution can achieve better performance with respect to most of the state-of-the-art methods, including other deep learning based ones with a considerable saving of computational burden.
