Decloud

Decloud enables the training and inference of various neural networks to remove clouds in optical images.

Representative illustrations:

Quickstart: Run a pre-trained model

Some pre-trained models are available at this url.

The easiest way to run a model is to run the timeseries processor such as:

python production/meraner_timeseries_processor.py
        --s2_dir  S2_PREPARE/T31TCJ 
        --s1_dir  S1_PREPARE/T31TCJ
        --model   merunet_occitanie_pretrained/
        --dem     DEM_PREPARE/T31TCJ.tif
        --out_dir meraner_timeseries/
# Optional arguments:
        --write_intermediate --overwrite
        --start 2018-01-01 --end 2018-12-31 
        --ulx 306000 --uly 4895000 --lrx 320000 --lry 4888000

Advanced usage: Train you own models

1. Prepare the data: convert Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 images in the right format (see the documentation).
2. Create some Acquisition Layouts (.json files) describing how the images are acquired, ROIs for training and validation sites, and generate some TFRecord files containing the samples.
3. Train the network of your choice. The network keys for input/output must match the keys of the previously generated TFRecord files.
4. Perform the inference on real world images.
