New diffusion model restores corrupted Antarctic satellite imagery

Researchers have developed DiffGF, a novel framework designed to restore corrupted Landsat 7 satellite imagery from Antarctica. This method utilizes a diffusion-based approach in latent and pixel spaces, eliminating the need for external reference data, which is often unavailable or unreliable for the rapidly changing Antarctic landscape. A new dataset, SLCANT, was created to train and evaluate DiffGF, demonstrating its effectiveness in high-fidelity image restoration and its utility in downstream applications like crevasse segmentation.

    A Non-Reference Diffusion-Based Restoration Framework for Landsat 7 ETM+ SLC-off Imagery in Antarctica

    Acquiring usable optical imagery in Antarctica is inherently challenging due to prolonged polar nights and frequent cloud cover. Landsat provides the longest and most continuous optical observations and constitutes one of the most important remote sensing data sources for Antarct…
