Asynchronous Remote Sensing Time-Series Fusion for Cloud Removal and Anytime Reconstruction

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2605.27726v1 Announce Type: new Frequent cloud cover severely limits the usability of Sentinel-2 (S2) optical time series for Earth surface monitoring. Sentinel-1 (S1) SAR provides all-weather complementary observations, but practical S1/S2 fusion remains difficult because acquisitions are irregular and asynchronous. Many existing approaches assume temporally aligned inputs (or require external nearest-date matching) and typically re only observed, limiting reconstruction under long gaps and preventing on-demand synthesis.
