Currently, the 1-D inversion method with lateral constraints, which is commonly used in HTEM, faces challenges quickly delivering inversion results in the field due to its high computational demands and lengthy processing time. In this article, we propose a sequential inversion method for HTEM based on the regularized extended Kalman filter (REKF). The REKF algorithm is used to predict the current inversion result at a given time by using the inversion result from the previous moment, and predictions are corrected with the observed data at that specific time. We also introduce a vertical roughness regularization term to avoid overfitting issues during the inversion process. Based on the sequential processing strategy of measuring while inverting, the REKF algorithm yields the optimal solution of the inversion objective function in just a few iterations, or even a single iteration, enabling near real-time calculations. In the simulation experiments, the advantages of the REKF method are demonstrated by comparing the inversion results of the REKF method with those of the extended Kalman filter method and the Occam method with lateral constraints. Finally, we perform REKF inversion on HTEM data obtained from a location in Xinjiang, China. The results demonstrate the accuracy and practicality of the REKF inversion method.","PeriodicalId":13116,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing","volume":"18 ","pages":"10896-10908"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10960538","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143896520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current pansharpening methods often overlook the significant modality differences between source images and lack interaction between them, resulting in spatial-spectral distortions. To address these issues, we proposed a novel progressive spectral correction and spatial compensation network for pansharpening. The network comprises a spectral correction branch, a spatial compensation branch, and a spectral-spatial fusion (SSF) branch. In the spectral correction branch, we designed a local spectral reinforcement (LSR) module and a global spectral rectification (GSR) module to keep the spectral fidelity. The LSR module is designed to reinforce the unique local information from different kinds of spectral features, while the GSR module captures long-range dependency and rectifies the spectral features with a cross-attention mechanism. In the spatial compensation branch, we designed a multiscale dilated adaptive feature extraction module guided by spectral and spatial attention to extract useful spatial details, and the details are progressively compensated into the SSF branch to better keep spatial fidelity. The SSF branch is designed to interact with spectral correction branch and spatial compensation branch to mitigate the modal difference and progressively optimize the spectral-spatial information.

Different crops have varying growth cycles and phenological stages, and changes in factors such as topography, soil type, and moisture conditions can lead to diversity in crops growth status, which complicates uniform monitoring. Multiple crops mapping simultaneously with high precision presents a significant challenge due to the high spatial heterogeneity of crops distribution across vast regions. To address these challenges, this article developed an advanced deep learning crop mapping method, i.e., phenological horizon attention mechanism-transformer model (PHAT) to achieve rapid and accurate multiple crops extraction over large areas. Initially, time-series data were constructed using the normalized differential vegetation index (NDVI) dataset based on moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) product. Subsequently, in the mixed pixel decomposition phase, orthogonal subspace projection and vertex component analysis were employed to identify crop types and extract endmembers. While the regular changes in the time-series NDVI reflect the phenological evolution trend among multiple crops, but the phenological characteristics difference between the same crop is extremely difficult to find. The PHAT model was therefore trained using the phenological features of endmembers to obtain the spatial distribution of crops, and to resolve the issue of varying time-series curves for the same crop across large areas. This study selected the North China Plain in 2021 as the research area, utilizing Google Earth data and Landsat 8 images to verify the approach's accuracy. Based on the MODIS NDVI data with a coarse spatial resolution of 250 m, our method achieved an OA of 90.1% for the synchronous extraction of soybean, spring peanut-summer sesame, winter wheat-summer maize, paddy rice, and rapeseed-cotton, with a RMSE of approximately 12% in 16.6 million mu of cultivated land.","PeriodicalId":13116,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing","volume":"18 ","pages":"10995-11013"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10962301","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143896283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, SAR images possess distinctive physical scattering properties, owing to their unique imaging mechanism. Many deep learning algorithms rely solely on amplitude information, ignoring phase information, which may result in the loss of information in the original complex-valued SAR image and suboptimal performance. To tackle these problems, this article introduces a SAR target recognition approach based on complex-valued operations, designated as complex-valued residual mish activation and convolution block attention module (CBAM) net (CRMC-Net). The CRMC-Net effectively utilizes the amplitude and phase information in complex-valued SAR data. Specifically, first, the elements of CNN, including the input and output layers, the convolution layers, the activation functions, and the pooling layers, are extended to the complex-valued domain. Second, in order to further enhance the representation ability of the model, multiscale information of the target is extracted through different convolution kernel sizes. Finally, the network constructs many complex-valued operation blocks to enhance the robustness of the designed network, including the complex-valued residual block, complex-valued Mish activation function, and complex-valued CBAM. The experimental results obtained from the moving and stationary target capture and recognition dataset and OpenSARShip2.0 dataset demonstrate that the proposed network model outperforms the traditional real-valued models.

This research systematically compared the correlation between aerial N uptake and spectral parameters derived from various spectral transform methods: continuum removal (CR), standard normal variate transform method, first derivative reflectance (FDR), and continuous wavelet transforms (CWT).

Specifically, HTC-HAD combines CNNs with transformers, where the CNN focuses on local modeling, and the transformer addresses long-range modeling. This dual approach ensures the accurate reconstruction of backgrounds by capturing both local and long-range dependencies. Meanwhile, to reduce model complexity and redundancy among neighboring bands, we incorporate a simplified and effective band selection strategy as preprocessing.

First, to counter interference from complex backgrounds, such as nearshore ports and speckle noise, the deformable strip convolution (DSConv) is introduced and incorporated into the backbone network for SAR ship feature extraction, named SSFEBackbone. DSConv adaptively adjusts convolution sampling positions based on ship target characteristics, precisely extracting features with directional and strip structures. Second, the dual-stream self-attention feature refinement module is utilized to refine high-level semantic features. Through the mixing spatial and channel attention (MSCA) mechanism, differences and correlations between complex backgrounds and ship entities are further captured, enhancing feature expression. Finally, the adaptive selective feature pyramid network is proposed. By leveraging MSCA attention, high-level semantic and low-level spatial features are flexibly matched, enabling better key information retention during fusion and background clutter suppression, thus improving detection performance for complex backgrounds and multiscale ship targets. Experimental results demonstrate that DSMF-Net performs significantly better in ship detection in SAR images.
