We propose a method to efficiently and accurately reconstruct LF seismic data for a large number of shot gathers based on multichannel deconvolution (MD) and deep learning (DL). Specifically, we first propose an MD method to predict LF data for very limited shot gathers. Then, we use a deep neural network (called “acceleration network”) to learn the relation between a shot gather and its corresponding LF data, based on the labels provided by the MD method, enabling efficient prediction for all shot gathers. Next, another deep neural network (called “improvement network”) is proposed to improve the accuracy of the LF shot gathers predicted by the “acceleration network.” To do so, several horizontal layered velocity models are generated based on the statistical distribution of well logs, and several synthetic shot gathers with and without LF are generated by solving the acoustic wave equation. Based on these synthetic shot gathers, the MD predicted LF data and the corresponding true LF data form a data pair [predicted LF, true LF] for each shot gather, and these data pairs are used to train the “improvement network.” Finally, employing a cascade of “acceleration network” and “improvement network,” we reconstruct the LF data of all shot gathers. Synthetic and field data examples verify that the proposed method exhibits superior accuracy compared to conventional MD method in LF data reconstruction.","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":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144671115","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}

Up- and down-chirp pulses are widely used due to their approximate orthogonality and robustness for underwater remote sensing applications. However, the cross correlation function (CCF) terms between them always exist and thereby degrade the quality of the MIMO sonar image. In this letter, we propose a novel cross correlation suppression method for improving the image quality of MIMO sonar. The proposed method leverages the frequency-domain differences between the envelopes of autocorrelation functions (ACFs) and CCFs of up- and down-chirp pulses. After the Fourier transformed, the envelopes of ACFs are approximately to be square wave function, while CCFs are approximately to be sinc function. Therefore, CCFs’ energy is concentrated and easier to be suppressed. By setting the main components of the CCFs to zero in the frequency domain of the multibeam outputs’ envelopes, the method effectively suppresses range sidelobes (SLs) caused by cross correlation, thereby enhancing the quality of the imaging results. Through numerical simulations and lake experiments, we quantitatively analyze the performance of the proposed method and demonstrate its effectiveness in MIMO sonar imaging.","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":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144671147","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}

To address these issues, we propose a novel low-cost MLS-based forest plot mapping method utilizing feature graph registration. Local submaps are first constructed via tree stem extraction and scan-to-scan graph-based registration, followed by global alignment to generate the final forest plot map. Experiments on three forest plots with varying structures and species demonstrate that our method achieves an average mapping accuracy of approximately 10 cm, even without loop closure optimization.

In the field of remote sensing image detection, since remote sensing systems rely on the large-scale deployment of edge devices, detection models need to be lightweight with low parameter complexity to adapt to resource-constrained environments. However, existing lightweight models often struggle with an imbalance in extracting low-frequency global and high-frequency local information. In particular, when processing high-frequency local information (such as edges, textures, and fine structures), these models often lack in-depth analysis, leading to insufficient extraction of local features and reduced detection accuracy. To address the imbalance between low-frequency global information and high-frequency local information in lightweight remote sensing models, we propose an efficient and lightweight hybrid network detection framework, which mainly consists of the global–local balance (GLB) module and the detail-aware feature fusion (DAFF) module. The GLB module adopts dynamic weight adjustment and context-aware mechanisms to effectively aggregate high-frequency local information in the image. The DAFF module further enhances feature fusion and detail refinement, improving the model’s performance and generalization ability. Experimental results on remote sensing datasets, including RSOD, NWPU VHR-10, and LEVIR datasets, demonstrate that our proposed method achieves a well-balanced tradeoff between model size and detection accuracy, reaching state-of-the-art performance.","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":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144695550","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 set of single- and dual-polarimetric Sentinel-1 SAR measurements collected over the open TNB polynya under different growing and closing phases is used for the experimental analysis, which is assisted by ancillary optical and radiometer satellite products.

The Tor Vergata electromagnetic model (TOV) is used to simulate canonical scattering mechanisms that are compared with those obtained by applying GFD to both simulated and L-band SAOCOM-1A data. The proposed method first analyzes the error between the model and the GFD applied to the simulated data. A multivariate data fitting is then performed to derive a new expression of the GFD powers, which is tested on the L-band real data. The GFD volume power obtains the greatest benefit from the calibration, reducing the root mean square error (RMSE) with respect to the corresponding TOV model contribution to 0.006 in linear units. To further test the procedure, a linear regression model is used to estimate soil moisture using the calibrated GFD powers from SAOCOM-1A real data. The retrieval performance, evaluated through a Leave-One-Out (LOO) cross-validation against in-situ data, shows a significant improvement. The calibrated GFD powers lead to an increased linear correlation (from 0.32 to 0.57), while the RMSE is reduced (from 0.096 to 0.055 m<sup>3</sup>/m<sup>3</sup>).","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":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11078365","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144687809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While nonlinear filters like the extended Kalman filter (EKF) and the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) are effective, they depend heavily on knowledge of underlying noise statistics. Besides, a lack of prior knowledge can lead to poor accuracy and robustness in state estimation. To address these two limitations, this letter proposes a novel filtering algorithm that automatically estimates the initial state value. An initial value estimator is created using three-axis magnetic scalar gradient data and the Euler deconvolution to quickly determine the target’s initial state. This value is then used as prior knowledge in a new neural network-aided Kalman filter called KalmanNet for state prediction and updating. Unlike traditional methods that transform nonlinear equations into linear forms, the proposed method does not require specific assumptions, preserving target characterization generality. Furthermore, this method provides a reliable initial state value while not relying on statistical noise knowledge, enhancing estimation accuracy. Simulation and field experiments show that the estimation results closely align with true values. In the field experiment, the root mean square error (RMSE) values for position, velocity, and magnetic moment vectors were reduced by 69.21%, 86.30%, and 60.55% compared to the EKF, and by 75.49%, 83.74%, and 80.45% compared to the UKF.","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":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144739959","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}
