arXiv:2606.05999v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cloud removal aims to accurately reconstruct the ground objects obscured by clouds in remote sensing images. Existing Transformer-based methods utilizing self-attention have shown impressive results by effectively modeling long-range dependencies in cloudy images. However, they suffer from the following issues: 1) the high computational complexity of self-attention limits scalability; 2) treating both cloudy and clean pixels as valid within the attention computation brings disturbances in subsequent layers, leading to suboptimal performance.
