Super-resolution for terrain modeling using deep learning in high mountain Asia [PDF]
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2023 High Mountain Asia (HMA) is characterized by some of the most complex and rugged terrain conditions in the world. However, high resolution terrain data are not easy to quickly acquire from the area due to difficulties in accessing the region.
