Most existing methods reconstruct seismic data in the spatial domain, often ignoring some important frequency components in the frequency domain, such as high-frequency texture features. Therefore, we propose a frequency-domain self-attention network (FDSANet) to effectively reconstruct seismic data with a high missing rate. The wavelet transform is employed in this model to better restore weak signals and provide more information at different resolutions. The fast Fourier transform in the frequency-domain self-attention module (FDSAM) enhances the global frequency awareness, especially for high-frequency energy. Different frequency components are elementwise multiplied by dynamic weights, effectively suppressing energy leakage and aliasing. Moreover, the nearest neighbor similarity loss on adjacent shot gathers is incorporated into the loss function to learn information from neighboring shot gathers, further enhancing the reconstruction performance of our model. Experiments on both synthetic and field datasets demonstrate that FDSANet achieves significant improvement over several state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":91017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE geoscience and remote sensing letters : a publication of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society","volume":"22 ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144481914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the critical role of point cloud density in quantifying data fidelity and object discriminability, its inherent spatiotemporal variability—arising from the nonlinear interplay of scanning geometry, platform dynamics, and surface topology—has remained inadequately addressed in current metrological frameworks. This study establishes a rigorous mathematical model that quantifies MLS density variations through the interdependent variables: density search radius, scanning distance, angular resolution, platform velocity, pulse repetition frequency, and three angles defining the spatial orientation of the local infinitesimal plane at the target point. Building upon this formulation, we propose the first MLS point cloud density correction method to mitigate heterogeneity caused by varying influencing factors and to derive a new corrected density value for each point that serves as an indicator of target geometry attribute. Experiments conducted across different platforms and environments demonstrate that the proposed method effectively eliminates inhomogeneity in density. The correction procedure achieves an average 61% decrease in the density coefficient of variation (cv) over homogeneous surfaces. The proposed method exhibits strong performance regarding feasibility and generality, offering significant application value in enhancing MLS data interpretation and understanding spatial distribution patterns of point clouds under various circumstances.","PeriodicalId":91017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE geoscience and remote sensing letters : a publication of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society","volume":"22 ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144472491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods based on conventional priors remain essential but face inherent challenges as they struggle to balance noise attenuation and signal preservation. Supervised deep learning approaches are constrained by the scarcity of high-quality labeled training pairs while existing unsupervised techniques often suffer from suboptimal accuracy and high-computational cost. To address these limitations, we propose an unsupervised deep learning framework based on implicit neural representation (INR) for erratic noise suppression in seismic data. The proposed method employs Fourier feature mapping to encode the spatial coordinates of noisy seismic data, which are then processed by a lightweight multilayer perceptron (MLP). The MLP is optimized using a robust Huber loss function to learn a continuous representation of the underlying seismic wavefield, effectively attenuating erratic noise while preserving valuable signal components. The Fourier feature mapping enhances the MLP’s ability to capture high-frequency signal details, while the Huber loss adaptively weights residuals based on amplitude, enabling precise noise suppression. Experimental results on synthetic and field datasets demonstrate its superior performance in suppressing noise while preserving signal fidelity.","PeriodicalId":91017,"journal":{"name":"IEEE geoscience and remote sensing letters : a publication of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society","volume":"22 ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144472557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A lightweight dual-modal feature fusion module named dual-modal fusion module (DFM) is designed to effectively combine RGB and thermal features. The existing C2f module in YOLOv8 was replaced by the lightweight module C2f-F, along with the addition of the parameter-free attention module SimAM.

The evaluation experimental results on the FLAME 2 dataset show that the accuracy of the proposed dual-modal forest fire detection method reaches 98.4%, and the model size is only 2.9 MB, which achieves a good balance between accuracy and number of parameters compared with other mainstream methods.

Suppression-based methods often involve high computational complexity, which limits their applicability in scenarios requiring rapid response, such as space debris detection. In contrast, autoregressive (AR) model-based reconstruction offers faster processing but suffers from performance degradation when the model order is selected solely by information criteria. Moreover, AR-based reconstruction in a single direction (either forward or backward) accumulates estimation errors over time, resulting in increasing deviations from the true signal. To overcome these challenges, we propose an interference mitigation method based on an AR model with optimal order, which includes the following key steps: interference detection, bidirectional signal reconstruction with candidate orders, weighted fusion of forward and backward reconstruction results to enhance reconstruction accuracy, and optimal order selection based on the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) after coherent accumulation.

However, the LST retrieval accuracy would be affected by the channel centers and channel widths owing to the vast atmospheric conditions and land surface types around the world. The theoretical channel configuration leading to the best performance of the SW algorithm is still not well investigated currently. In this study, the LST retrieval accuracies of the SW algorithm using different channel configurations were studied iteratively through the whole TIR atmospheric window.

Results show that the LST retrieval root mean square error (RMSE) of the determined channel configuration was 1.09 K, better than that of the MODIS (1.28 K), Landsat-9 (1.24 K), and Sentinel-3 A (1.24 K) instruments regarding the global atmospheric profiles provided in the ERA5 database.

The existing CL methods in RS, while learning new tasks, enhance robustness toward catastrophic forgetting. This is achieved using a large number of labeled training samples, which is costly and not always feasible to gather in RS. To address this problem, we propose a novel continual self-supervised learning (SSL) method in the context of masked autoencoders (MAEs) (denoted as CoSMAE). The proposed CoSMAE consists of two components: 1) data mixup and 2)model mixup knowledge distillation. Data mixup is associated with retaining information on previous data distributions by interpolating images from the current task with those from the previous tasks. Model mixup knowledge distillation is associated with distilling knowledge from past models and the current model simultaneously by interpolating their model weights to form a teacher for knowledge distillation. The two components complement each other to regularize the MAE at the data and model levels to facilitate better generalization across tasks and reduce the risk of catastrophic forgetting. Experimental results show that CoSMAE achieves significant improvements of up to 4.94% over state-of-the-art CL methods applied to MAE.

To address this, we propose a novel framework that integrates local binary patterns (LBPs) for texture-guided spatial enhancement and a polarity transformer to model complementary feature representations. The key innovation lies in decomposing the input features into polarity mask through the LBP texture guidance. The positive polarity emphasizes dominant spectral–spatial correlations, while the negative suppresses noise and redundant responses, jointly enabling adaptive compensation of lost spatial details. Simultaneously, multiscale LBP operators are embedded prior to the transformer to explicitly encode rotation-invariant texture features. The original HSI data and LBP-enhanced features are processed by polarity transformers and fused through a cross-polarity interaction module, ensuring the complementary advantages of global spectral context and local texture details.
