We have forked from BasicSR

For the original README document from BasicSR, refer to README.md.txt.

Our changes

We have updated model tunings for high-resolution satellite data and modified the architecture to allow for a 10x super resolution transformation (in additional to 2x and 4x). We also added a simple water classification based on adaptive thresholding.

These new changes are authored by Ethan D. Kyzivat and Ekaterina Lezine.

Our paper is now published in the Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing.

Image import and preprocessing workflow

  1. Download images to Scenes folder
  2. plot_hists_serial.py > saves histogram for each scene
  3. Compute_mean_hist.py > averages these histograms
  4. extract_subimgs_single.py > Divides satellite scenes into subsets
  5. rand_shuf.sh > Randomly creates training and validation partitions
  6. generate_mod_LR_bic_parallel.py > Upscales and downscales subsets via a number of methods
