Overview
Super-Resolution (SR) aims to improve satellite imagery ground sampling distance. However, two problems are common in the literature. First, most models are tested on synthetic data, raising doubts about their real-world applicability and performance. Second, traditional evaluation metrics such as PSNR, LPIPS, and SSIM are not designed to assess SR performance. These metrics fall short, especially in conditions involving changes in luminance or spatial misalignments - scenarios frequently encountered in real world.
To address these challenges, 'opensr-test' provides a fair approach for SR benchmark. We provide three datasets carefully crafted to minimize spatial and spectral misalignment. Besides, 'opensr-test' precisely assesses SR algorithm performance across three independent metrics groups that measure consistency, synthesis, and correctness.
Datasets
The opensr-test package provides five datasets for benchmarking SR models. These datasets are carefully crafted to minimize spatial and spectral misalignment. Each dataset consists of a dictionary with the following keys:
L2A: Sentinel-2 L2A bands (12 bands).L1C: Sentinel-2 L1C bands (12 bands).HR: High-resolution image (RGBNIR) without harmonization.HRharm: Harmonized high-resolution image (RGBNIR). The HRharm image is harmonized with respect to the Sentinel-2 L2A bands.metadata: A pandas DataFrame with the images' metadata.lr_file:The low-resolution image file path.hr_file:The high-resolution image file path.roi:The spatial unique identifier.lr_gee_id:The low-resolution image Google Earth Engine id.reflectance:How SR affects the mean of reflectance values. It uses the L1 norm. The lower the value, the better the reflectance consistency.spectral:This shows how the harmonization affects the spectral signature compared to the LR image. It uses the spectral angle distance. The lower the value, the better the spectral consistency. The values are in degrees.spatial:The spatial misalignment in terms of LR pixels (10m). The lower the value, the better the spatial consistency.
