Abstract: Super-resolution (SR) reconstruction is a common term for techniques aimed at generating a high-resolution image from a single low-resolution image or multiple images showing the same scene. Multiple-image SR benefits from data fusion which allows for more accurate reconstruction of the underlying high-resolution information. Deep learning is extensively used for single-image SR, but its application to multiple-image SR is much less explored. Recently, several deep networks were proposed to enhance Proba-V images, and in this paper, we focus on employing them to super-resolve the Sentinel-2 images. In particular, we investigate the influence of the training data, including real and simulated low-resolution images, on the final SR outcome. Also, we make the simulated data publicly available.
