New GAN reconstructs satellite land surface temperature data with high accuracy

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel Multimodal Fast Fourier Convolutional GAN designed to reconstruct land surface temperature (LST) data from satellite imagery, specifically addressing gaps caused by cloud cover. This method utilizes Fast Fourier Convolution to achieve a global receptive field and integrates data from satellite observations and synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The approach demonstrates effectiveness in recovering extensive missing regions, even in scenes with over 70% cloud-induced gaps, achieving an interquartile range of scene-averaged RMSE between 0.8 K and 1.8 K across all LST quantiles. AI

IMPACT This method could improve the accuracy and completeness of satellite-based climate and environmental monitoring.

    Fast Fourier Convolutional GAN for 30 m Clear-Sky Land Surface Temperature Gap-Free Reconstruction

    arXiv:2607.22734v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Satellite-derived Land Surface Temperature (LST) provides spatially comprehensive data that ground stations cannot match. However, its utility is frequently limited by severe data gaps due to the presence of clouds. As LST is essent…
