Abstract:
1. A method comprising: providing first and second terrain images forming a terrain image training pair wherein said first terrain image includes pixels p and said second terrain image includes pixels p′, and wherein said first and said second terrain images are images of a same terrain location obtained at two different chronological time periods; providing a starting terrain image wherein said starting terrain image includes one or more pixels q; wherein pixels p, p′ and q have one or more features and associated values; forming training images and starting images at L levels of resolution by replacing sets of pixels with weighted average of their values, wherein said L levels of resolution includes a plurality of images wherein each image is at a selected resolution from a relatively higher resolution to a relatively lower resolution; for each individual resolution level l within said L levels of resolution, from lowest relative resolution to highest relative resolution and for each pixel q′ for an output image to be created at level L: creating an output image of pixels q′ at level L.
