A variety of satellite sensors deliver observation data with different sampling patterns due satellite orbits and/or their sensitivity to atmospheric conditions (e.g., clour cover, heavy rains,...). Beyond the ability to account for irregularly-sampled observations, the definition of model-driven inversion methods is often limited to specific case-studies where one can explicitly derive a physical model to relate the different observation sources. Here, we investigate how end-to-end learning schemes provide new means to address multimodal inversion problems. The proposed scheme combines a variational formulation with trainable observation operators, {\\em a priori} terms and solvers. Through an application to space oceanography, we show how this scheme can successfully extract relevant information from satellite-derived sea surface temperature images and enhance the reconstruction of sea surface currents issued from satellite altimetry data.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.10640v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.10640v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"multimodal-learning-based-inversion-models","repo_url":"https://github.com/CIA-Oceanix/4dvarnet-core","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"earth-observation","task_name":"Earth Observation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
