DeepSUM++: Non-local Deep Neural Network for Super-Resolution of Unregistered Multitemporal Images

Abstract

Deep learning methods for super-resolution of a remote sensing scene from multiple unregistered low-resolution images have recently gained attention thanks to a challenge proposed by the European Space Agency. This paper presents an evolution of the winner of the challenge, showing how incorporating non-local information in a convolutional neural network allows to exploit self-similar patterns that provide enhanced regularization of the super-resolution problem. Experiments on the dataset of the challenge show improved performance over the state-of-the-art, which does not exploit non-local information.
