SAR to EO Image Translation

SAR-to-EO image translation aims to convert Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery, which is less visually interpretable but robust to weather conditions, into the more easily understood Electro-Optical (EO) format. Current research focuses on improving the accuracy and visual quality of this translation using various deep learning architectures, including generative adversarial networks (GANs) and diffusion models, often incorporating multiple data sources like Google Maps or infrared imagery to enhance results. This research is significant for applications like flood monitoring and environmental assessment, where SAR's all-weather capabilities combined with EO's intuitive visual representation offer substantial advantages for analysis and decision-making.
