Research News: Recommendation algorithms that power Amazon, Netflix can improve satellite imagery, too
Cloud cover is the nightmare of satellites. If the earth's surface is covered by clouds, satellite imaging will lose data or suffer from a bad data quality in #earthobservation. I found an analogy between satellite observation and online shopping (the figure below). So I dare to apply the online shopping algorithm to the cloud problem. Surprisingly, amazing results can be obtained to recover the lost data due to cloud covers. After a long wait, the paper is finally published this month at here. (5/11/2022)
