A Spatial–Frequency Combined Transformer for Cloud Removal of Optical Remote Sensing Images by Fulian Zhao, Chenlong Ding, Xin Li, Runliang Xia, Caifeng Wu, Xin Lyu

“…In order to further enhance the features extracted by DBSA and FreSA, we design the dual-domain feed-forward network (DDFFN), which effectively improves the detail fidelity of the restored image by multi-scale convolution for local refinement and frequency transformation for global structural optimization. A composite loss function, incorporating Charbonnier loss and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) loss, is employed to optimize model training and balance pixel-level accuracy with structural fidelity. …”
