Abstract

The potential for more precise land cover classifications and pattern analysis is provided by technological advancements and the growing accessibility of high-resolution satellite images, which might significantly improve the detection and quantification of land cover change for conservation.  A group of methods known as "super-resolution imaging" use generative modelling to increase the resolution of an imaging system. Super-Resolution Imaging, which falls under the category of sophisticated computer vision and image processing, has a variety of practical uses, including astronomical imaging, surveillance and security, medical imaging, and satellite imaging. As computer vision is where deep learning algorithms for super-resolution first appeared, they were mostly created on RGB images in 8-bit colour depth, where the sensor and camera are separated by a few meters. But no evaluation of these methods has been done.
