Since the late 1970s, successive satellite missions have been monitoring the sun's activity and recording the total solar irradiance (TSI). Some of these measurements have lasted for more than a decade. In order to obtain a seamless record…
For satellite images, the presence of clouds presents a problem as clouds obscure more than half to two-thirds of the ground information. This problem causes many issues for reliability in a noise-free environment to communicate data and…
Rain is one of the most common weather which can completely degrade the image quality and interfere with the performance of many computer vision tasks, especially under heavy rain conditions. We observe that: (i) rain is a mixture of rain…
Cloud removal is an essential task in remote sensing data analysis. As the image sensors are distant from the earth ground, it is likely that part of the area of interests is covered by cloud. Moreover, the atmosphere in between creates a…
Multi-modality image fusion (MMIF) combines complementary information from different image modalities to provide a comprehensive and objective interpretation of scenes. However, existing fusion methods cannot resist different weather…
