The basic idea of this theory is to learn a set of classifiers and allow them to vote. In this paper, to correctly apply the ELM for enhancing of an artificial neural network (ANN) performances, a strategy was devised which is to divide the data to be classified into two categories, ‘easy-to-classify’ category and ‘difficult-to-classify’ category using a main ANN. Hence, reliable ANN and unreliable ANN are created and applied for the classification of ‘easy-to-classify’ data and for the classification of ‘difficult-to-classify’ data, respectively. The AdaBoost algorithm and Bagging algorithm are implemented separately on the unreliable ANN. To increase performance, the AdaBoost results and Bagging results are merged. The developed scheme is applied to remote sensing images from Meteosat Second Generation (MSG). The final results show very interesting performances in the case of the fusion of the results from AdaBoost-ANN and the results from Bagging-ANN (Ada/Bag-ANN).

However, recent research has shown that categorizing HSI can be problematic due to the limited availability of labelled data. There is significant interest in applying this technique to hyperspectral data. Previous graph neural network (GNN)-based methodologies often used a graph filter to obtain HSI properties, but the potential advantages of various graph neural networks and graph filters have not been fully exploited. GNNs often operate under the assumption that a node’s neighbours are independent of each other, neglecting potential interactions among them. To overcome these limitations, graph attention neural network-based remote target classification (GANN-RTC) has been proposed. It has the ability to handle both the labelled and unlabelled datasets. To evaluate the performance of GANN-RTC, we compared it with existing methods using performance measures such as individual class accuracy, overall accuracy, and the Kappa coefficient. The findings indicate that the GANN-RTC yields enhancements in OA, ICA, and KC by 2.32, 7.89, and 2.47% for the Cuprite dataset and 4.79, 11.85, and 2.82% for the Pavia University dataset.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Research highlights</h3><ul>\u0000<li>\u0000<p>The research focuses on remote target classification in hyperspectral imaging using a Graph Attention Neural Network.</p>\u0000</li>\u0000<li>\u0000<p>Previous methods in this field have not fully utilized the potential advantages of graph filters and graph neural networks.</p>\u0000</li>\u0000<li>\u0000<p>The proposed approach overcomes limitations by considering interactions between neighbouring nodes and can handle both labelled and unlabelled datasets.</p>\u0000</li>\u0000<li>\u0000<p>Performance evaluation shows significant improvements in overall accuracy, individual class accuracy, and the Kappa coefficient compared to existing state-of-the-art methods.</p>\u0000</li>\u0000</ul>","PeriodicalId":15609,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Earth System Science","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140930374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal is to minimise the difference (error) between actual seismic data and synthetic (computed) seismic traces. Global optimisation is an approach that is independent of the initial model and aims to identify the global minimum of an objective function. In contrast, local optimisation relies on the accuracy of the initial model, and if an accurate initial model is not provided, it may become trapped in a local minimum, leading to an inaccurate representation of the subsurface model. What makes global optimisation powerful is that it does not get stuck in local minima (suboptimal solutions), but seeks the absolute best solution in the entire search space. This property is crucial in seismic inversion, where finding the most accurate representation of subsurface properties is of utmost importance for geophysical applications. The study includes one synthetic example and one real dataset, with a specific emphasis on evaluating acoustic impedance rock properties. While acoustic impedance is characteristic of rock layers, seismic data represents properties at the interfaces between these layers. Consequently, seismic data is highly valuable for gaining detailed insights into the subsurface. The results of the optimisation process provide exceptionally detailed views of the subsurface, aiding in the interpretation of seismic data. GA, SA and PSO algorithms perform well, both with synthetic data and real data. The inversion process identifies a zone with low acoustic impedance, corresponding to a prominent seismic anomaly. The evaluation of the inverted outcomes reveals that the impedance within the area ranges from 4300 to 4700 m/s*g/cc, situated within a specific time range of 900–950 ms in the seismic data of F3-block, Netherland.</p>","PeriodicalId":15609,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Earth System Science","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140883038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increase in temperature on the Earth due to climate changes is causing rapid glacial abrasion. The rapid global decline in alpine glaciers makes it necessary to identify the key drivers responsible for a glacial retreat to understand the eventual modifications to the surroundings and the Earth’s ecosystem.
