Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate the use of a Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGAN) framework for producing high-fidelity, multispectral aerial imagery using low-fidelity imagery of the same kind as input. The motivation behind is that it is easier, faster, and often less costly to produce low-fidelity images than high-fidelity images using the various available techniques, such as physics-driven synthetic image generation models. Once the cGAN network is trained and tuned in a supervised manner on a data set of paired low- and high-quality aerial images, it can then be used to enhance new, lower-quality baseline images of similar type to produce more realistic, high-fidelity multispectral image data. This approach can potentially save significant time and effort compared to traditional approaches of producing multispectral images.
