Recently, convolutional neural networks and graph neural networks have become hotspots in HSI classification. Although various methods have been developed, the problem of detail loss may still exist when extracting complex features within homogenous regions. To solve this issue, in this article, we proposed a double-hop graph attention multiview fusion network. This model is adept at pinpointing precise attention features by integrating a double-hop graph with the graph attention network, thereby enhancing the aggregation of multilevel node information and surmounting the limitations of a restricted receptive field. Furthermore, the spectral-coordinate attention module (SCAM) is presented to seize more nuanced spectral and spatial attention features. SCAM harnesses the coordinate attention mechanism for in-depth pixel-level global spectral–spatial view. Coupled with the multiscale Gabor texture view, we forge a multiview fusion network that meticulously highlights edge details across varying scales and captures beneficial features. Our experimental validation across four renowned benchmark HSI datasets showcases our model's superiority, outstripping comparative methods in classification accuracy with limited labeled samples.","PeriodicalId":13116,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing","volume":"17 ","pages":"20080-20097"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10735087","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142645537","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}

SST datasets are crucial for identifying and describing both short-term and long-term climate perturbations in the ocean. This article focuses on cloud detection and SST retrievals in the Western Pacific Ocean, using observations obtained by the Chinese Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner (COCTS) onboard the Haiyang-1C satellite. To distinguish between clear-sky and overcast regions, reflectance after sun glint correction and brightness temperature are used as inputs for an alternative decision tree (ADTree). The accuracy of cloud detection is 93.85% for daytime and 91.98% for nighttime, respectively. Application of the cloud detection algorithm improves the accuracy and data availability (spatiotemporal coverage) of SST retrievals. We implement a nonlinear algorithm to retrieve the SST and validate these retrieved values against buoy measurements of SST. Comparisons are conducted for measurements within ±1 h and 0.01° × 0.01° of the retrieval. During the day, the bias and standard deviation (SD) are −0.01 °C and 0.63 °C, respectively, while at night, they stand at −0.08 °C and 0.71 °C, respectively. Furthermore, the intercomparison between the SST products derived from the moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard Terra and the results are conducted. During the day, the bias and SD are 0.03 °C and 0.42 °C, respectively, whereas at night, they are 0.25 °C and 0.76 °C, respectively.

However, distinguishing ship targets precisely from the interference of multiplicative non-Gaussian coherent speckle is still a challenging task due to the discreteness, variability, and nonlinearity of ship scattering features. A detection framework based on hierarchical sampling representation is introduced to alleviate the phenomenon in this article. First, ships in SAR images exhibit multiplicative non-Gaussian coherent speckle, which introduces nonlinear characteristics under the imaging mechanism of SAR. Therefore, a statistical feature learning module is proposed with a learnable design to describe the nonlinear representations and expand the feature space. Second, our method designs a convex-hull representation to fit the irregular contours of ships represented by strong scattering points. Third, in order to supervise and optimize the regression of convex-hull representation, a sparse low-rank reassignment module is employed to evaluate the positive samples with SAR mechanism and reassign ones of high quality, which produces better results. Furthermore, experimental results on three authoritative SAR-oriented datasets for ship detection application present the comprehensive performance of our method.","PeriodicalId":13116,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing","volume":"17 ","pages":"19530-19547"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10733998","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142600182","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}

Despite recent progress, current research suffers from the following three major challenges: insufficient features representation, conflicts in shared features, and inappropriate anchor labeling strategy, which significantly impede accurate fine-grained ship detection. To address these issues, we propose FineShipNet as a solution. Specifically, we first propose a novel blend synchronization module, which aims to facilitate the coutilization of semantic information from top-level and bottom-level features and minimize information redundancy. Subsequently, the blend feature maps are fed into a novel polarized feature focusing module, which decouples the features used in classification and regression to create task-specific discriminating features maps. Meanwhile, we adopt the adaptive harmony anchor labeling and propose a novel metric, harmony score, to choose high-quality anchors that can effectively capture the discriminating features of the target. Extensive experiments on four fine-grained remote sensing ship datasets (HRSC2016, DOSR, FGSD2021, and ShipRSImageNet) demonstrate that our FineShipNet outperforms current state-of-the-art object detection methods, achieving superior performance with mean average precision scores of 81.3%, 68.5%, 85.7%, and 63.9%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":13116,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing","volume":"17 ","pages":"20098-20115"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10733997","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142645451","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, digital number (DN) values of these RGB images usually have a nonlinear relationship with the incident radiance, which reduces the accuracy of quantitative remote sensing of macroalgae. To solve this problem, we proposed an improved processing procedure for UAV RGB images (or videos) based on camera response functions (CRFs). The CRF was utilized to convert the DN values into energy values (\u0000<italic>E\u0000 values), which demonstrate a linear relationship with the incident radiance. When the DN values were replaced by their corresponding \u0000<italic>E\u0000 values to calculate the reflectance of green macroalgae under different illumination intensities, the errors in reflectance were reduced by ∼21%; for the corresponding green macroalgae indices, such as the red–green band virtual baseline floating green algae height (RG-FAH), the \u0000<italic>E\u0000-value-based RG-FAH demonstrates more resistance to the impacts of sun glints; and the \u0000<italic>E\u0000 values were further applied to estimate the coverage portion of macroalgae (POM, %) in RGB videos; the illumination-induced deviations of the POM were effectively reduced by up to 33.06%, showing an advantage in quantitative estimation of macroalgae biomass.

This issue is particularly pronounced in hyperspectral imagery, given the high dimensionality of the per-pixel reflectance vectors and the complexity of the resulting deep learning models. We introduce a semisupervised domain adaptation technique that improves on the adversarial discriminative framework, incorporating a novel multiclass discriminator to address low discriminability and negative transfer issues from which current approaches suffer. Significantly, our method addresses mode collapse by incorporating limited labeled data from the target domain for targeted guidance during adaptation. In addition, we integrate an attention mechanism that focuses on challenging spatial regions for the target mode. We tested our approach on three unique hyperspectral remote sensing datasets to demonstrate its efficacy in diverse conditions (e.g., cloud shadows, atmospheric variability, and terrain).

To obtain precise ground deformation, pixels with as high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as possible should be selected, while pixels with low SNR should be avoided. To this end, we propose a novel framework, referred to as the PS feature-fusion network (PSFNet), for efficient PS selection. Specifically, we propose a data-driven two-branch network consisting of a ResUNet with spatial and channel attention, as well as a TANet with 3-D convolutional layers and a time-step attention block (T-Attention block), which can use not only spatial features of SAR image but also time-series phase features when selecting PS pixels. In particular, a time-step attention mechanism is proposed for accommodating to interferometric pairs with different SNRs to enhance the feature representation ability of the network. The proposed method was tested using the Sentinel-1 images, showing that it can select more PSs with higher quality compared with StaMPS. In addition, the prediction time of PSFNet requires only 0.26% of the running time of StaMPS, which greatly improves the efficiency of PSFNet for practical applications.","PeriodicalId":13116,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing","volume":"17 ","pages":"19972-19985"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10729861","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142691821","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}

While real-time monitoring technology validates and adjusts spatio-temporal sequence prediction models, it still faces challenges, such as manual anchor box sizing and slow inference speeds due to large computational parameters. To address this challenge, a SAR ship target real-time detection method based on CenterNet is introduced in this article. The proposed method comprises the following steps. First, to improve the feature extraction capability of the original CenterNet network, we introduce a feature pyramid fusion structure and replace upsampled deconvolution with Deformable Convolution Networks (DCNets), which enable richer feature map outputs. Then, to identify nearshore and small target ships better, BiFormer attention mechanism and spatial pyramid pooling module are incorporated to enlarge the receptive field of network. Finally, to improve accuracy and convergence speed, we optimize the Focal loss of the heatmap and utilize Smooth L1 loss for width, height, and center point offsets, which enhance detection accuracy and generalization. Performance evaluations on two SAR image ship datasets, HRSID and SSDD, validate the method's effectiveness, achieving Average Precision (AP) values of 82.87% and 94.25%, representing improvements of 5.26% and 4.04% in AP compared to the original models, with detection speeds of 49 FPS on both datasets.
