Prerequisites

This code is written for Python2.7 and uses Theano and Lasagne libraries. The list of all requirements is in requirements.txt.

The command to install the requirements is:

cat requirements.txt | xargs -n 1 -L 1 pip2 install

Optional requirements for using gpu:

• cuda = 8
• cudnn = 5

Usage

Firstly, you have to download the dataset from LINK.

The 8 proposed techniques to estimate the NDVI are:

SAR, SARp, OPTI, OPTII, SOPTI, SOPTII, SOPTIp, SOPTIIp. (1)

In the paper, these techniques correspond respectively to:

SAR, SAR+, Optical/C, Optical, Optical-SAR/C, Optical-SAR, Optical-SAR+/C, Optical-SAR+.

To train and/or test the CNN you have to use the Train.py and/or Test.py, in TRAINING and TEST directory respectively.

In these files you have to set the technique_name that you can choose from (1):

kwargs['identifier'] = 'technique_name'
