New self-supervised framework reconstructs corrupted NDVI time-series data

Researchers have developed GloSSR, a novel self-supervised framework designed to reconstruct Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time-series data, which is often corrupted by clouds and noise. This framework addresses the challenge of limited paired clear-sky and degraded data by creating artificial degradation patterns to generate self-supervised training pairs. GloSSR employs a bidirectional Transformer with a ConvLSTM architecture to capture complex spatiotemporal dependencies, enhanced by a temporal-channel attention module and a spatiotemporal prior constraint to preserve both fine-scale structures and long-term trends. Evaluations on MODIS and AVHRR data demonstrate its superior performance in both artificial and real-world scenarios, highlighting its scalability and broad applicability for large-scale environmental monitoring.
