Cloud cover is recognized as a source of significant loss of information and data quality by many scientific studies. The existence of clouds hinders the extraction of meaningful information because they are a considerable source of uncertainty with regard to the application of any algorithm aiming at the retrieval of land surface parameters. In order to overcome the problem of cloud cover in Earth observation data, the reconstruction of areas beneath clouds can be regarded as a fundamental research topic, especially concerning the visible and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
