A Lightweight Machine-Learning Method for Cloud Removal in Remote Sensing Images Constrained by Conditional Information
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe research paper has certain theoretical significance. But significant improvements are needed before publication.
1) What is the motivation behind the research on "Cloud Restoration" in the title? The paper does not provide a clear definition, does it belong to cloud detection, exclusion, or other purposes?
2) The general structural diagram in Figure 1 is meaningless and it is recommended to delete it.
3) The main conditional information in the paper includes Spectral and Temporal Information, Spatial Information, Pixel Similarity, etc., but no specific model is provided, especially for the first two pieces of information. It is recommended to have a clearer definition.
4) The experimental verification part is relatively rough, especially some data tables, which have unclear physical meanings and some lack dimensional markings.

Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe present work introduces a method for reconstructing satellite images that contain cloud-type noise. The task of cloud detection and removal is very important in the field of remote sensing. The article is straightforward and employs a neural network application. The results demonstrate that the technique outperforms other state-of-the-art competitors. I do not have many comments to make, except to suggest placing greater emphasis on the new methodology. Additionally, it would be beneficial to provide more detailed explanations of the advantages and potential limitations of the proposed approach, as well as to include a more comprehensive comparison with existing methods.
Comments on the Quality of English LanguageI believe the English is fine; I suggest a rereading and correction of the punctuation.
