## πŸ“¦ SAT\_ELITE\_DATA
**SAT\_ELITE\_DATA** is a curated paired-image dataset intended for training and fine-tuning super-resolution models, particularly **ESRGAN (Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network)**. The dataset consists of aligned low-resolution and high-resolution image pairs, sourced from **Sentinel-2** (10m/pixel) and **NAIP** (1m/pixel) satellite imagery, respectively.
---
### πŸ›°οΈ Dataset Overview
| Domain | Source | Spatial Resolution | Description |
| -------- | ---------- | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| Low-Res | Sentinel-2 | 10 meters/pixel | Multispectral satellite imagery (RGB subset) |
| High-Res | NAIP | 1 meter/pixel | Aerial imagery from USDA's NAIP program |
The dataset is organized to support **paired image super-resolution tasks**, where each Sentinel-2 patch (input) corresponds spatially and temporally to a high-resolution NAIP patch (target output).
---
### πŸ“ Directory Structure
The dataset is provided as two zip files:
```
SAT_ELITE_DATA/
β”œβ”€β”€ train_set.zip # Paired training images
β”œβ”€β”€ val_set.zip # Paired validation images
```
Each zip contains two folders:
```
train_set/
β”œβ”€β”€ lr/ # Low-resolution Sentinel-2 images (input)
β”œβ”€β”€ hr/ # High-resolution NAIP images (target)
```
The same structure applies to `val_set/`.
Each image pair shares the same filename (e.g., `12345.png` in both `lr/` and `hr/`), making it straightforward to load matching inputs and targets during model training.

### πŸ“Š Image Specs
* **Format:** PNG (8-bit RGB)
* **Patch Size (HR):** 256Γ—256
* **Patch Size (LR):** 32Γ—32
* **Normalization:** No pre-applied normalization β€” users can apply their own preprocessing (e.g., mean/std normalization, scaling to \[-1, 1]).
---
### 🎯 Use Case
This dataset is designed for:
* Super-resolution model training (e.g., **ESRGAN**, **EDSR**, **SRGAN**)
* Remote sensing image enhancement
* Satellite-to-aerial domain transfer learning
* Visual fidelity and detail recovery in earth observation pipelines
---
### πŸ”§ Suggested Training Pipeline (ESRGAN)
1. **Preprocessing:**
* Resize Sentinel-2 images to match HR resolution using bicubic interpolation (if needed)
* Normalize pixel values to \[-1, 1]
* Data augmentation (flip, rotate)
2. **Training ESRGAN:**
* Generator: Residual-in-Residual Dense Blocks
* Discriminator: PatchGAN-based
* Losses: Content loss (VGG), adversarial loss, pixel-wise L1 loss
3. **Evaluation:**
* PSNR, SSIM
* Visual comparison with upsampled baseline (bicubic)
