Optical remote sensing imagery has been widely used in many fields due to its high resolution and stable geometric properties.
Because of the internal malfunction of satellite sensors and poor atmospheric conditions such as thick cloud, the acquired remote sensing data often suffer from missing information, i. e., the data usability is greatly reduced.
Optical remote sensing imagery is at the core of many Earth observation activities.

Cloud Removal
on SEN12MS-CR
Removing clouds is an indispensable pre-processing step in remote sensing image analysis.
In contrast, we cast the problem of cloud removal as a conditional image synthesis challenge, and we propose a trainable spatiotemporal generator network (STGAN) to remove clouds.
