The majority of all optical observations collected via spaceborne satellites are affected by haze or clouds. Consequently, persistent cloud coverage affects the remote sensing practitioner's capabilities of a continuous and seamless monitoring of our planet. Cloud removal is the task of reconstructing cloud-covered information while preserving originally cloud-free details.
SEN12MS-CR is a multi-modal and mono-temporal data set for cloud removal. It contains observations covering 175 globally distributed Regions of Interest recorded in one of four seasons throughout the year of 2018. For each region, paired and co-registered synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Sentinel-1 measurements as well as cloudy and cloud-free optical multi-spectral Sentinel-2 observations from European Space Agency's Copernicus mission are provided. The Sentinel satellites provide public access data and are among the most prominent satellites in Earth observation.

RICE is a remote sensing image dataset for cloud removal. The proposed dataset consists of two parts: RICE1 contains 500 pairs of images, each pair has images with cloud and cloudless size of 512512; RICE2 contains 450 sets of images, each set contains three 512512 size images, respectively, the reference picture without clouds, the picture of the cloud and the mask of its cloud.

SEN12MS-CR-TS is a multi-modal and multi-temporal data set for cloud removal. It contains time-series of paired and co-registered Sentinel-1 and cloudy as well as cloud-free Sentinel-2 data from European Space Agency's Copernicus mission. Each time series contains 30 cloudy and clear observations regularly sampled throughout the year 2018. Our multi-temporal data set is readily pre-processed and backward-compatible with SEN12MS-CR.
