Destripe Any Scale: Effective Stripe Removal Via Multiscale Decomposition Using the Luojia3-02 Stripe-Noise Dataset by Ru Chen, Mi Wang, Yingdong Pi, Ru Wang, Tao Peng, Fan Yang, Rongfan Dai

“…Experimental evaluations using Luojia3-02 data demonstrate that, without relying on external calibration, the proposed network and processing framework effectively eliminate multiscale stripe noise caused by sensor-induced radiometric errors, significantly improving both radiometric quality and visual clarity. Compared with traditional methods, our approach exhibits superior robustness and adaptability in handling complex, large-swath scenarios, demonstrating the advantages of integrating deep-learning techniques with multiscale decomposition for stripe-noise removal.…”
