However, CNN and attention mechanisms face challenges in training efficiency and predicting precision. To improve this deficiency, a dynamic and lightweight attention mechanism and a strategy that combines geological/spatial information have been proposed. This study introduces two novel enhancements: the spatial and stratigraphic information processing (shortened as Spatial and Strat) method and the dynamic range attention (DRA) mechanism. Spatial-stratigraphic context (SSP) integrates geological context by encoding depositional sequences as time series. DRA is a lightweight attention module that adaptively adjusts local attention ranges based on global context. Experiments on a collected dataset from the eastern Sichuan Basin (13 wells and 14 587 labeled samples) demonstrate that the proposed DRA-BiLSTM model with SSP achieves excellent performance, achieving accuracies of 0.99 on the training set, 0.97 on the validation set, and 0.92 on the testing set, with low error rates of 0.08 for Top-5 and 0.02 for Top-1. Ablation studies confirm the critical roles of SSP in capturing geological patterns and DRA in balancing computational efficiency by paying more attention to the vertical sedimentary process. These innovations significantly advance automated lithological interpretation, offering a robust framework for geophysical applications.","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":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144072852","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 limitations, this letter proposes a novel hybrid capped truncated nuclear norm-regularized TRD (HTCN-TRD) framework for HSI denoising. Specifically, the HTCN-TRD model introduces a hybrid regularization into the TRD framework to flexibly balance low-rankness and sparsity while preserving structural integrity.

However, traditional fracture azimuth prediction methods heavily rely on seismic data quality and well-logging data, often encountering severe noise interference and 90° ambiguity. This makes fracture azimuth prediction challenging in areas with complex geological structures. A method for seismic statistical prediction of fracture azimuth based on the Fourier series has been proposed to address these issues. First, the Rüger approximation is rewritten into Fourier series form, combining parameters with high linear correlation to mitigate the ill-conditioning of the coefficient matrix. Second, construct a complex representation of fracture azimuth and initially adjust the sign based on the characteristic that the azimuthal period of the fourth-order Fourier coefficient is <inline-formula> <tex-math>$pi $ </tex-math></inline-formula>/2. Third, considering that the fourth-order Fourier coefficients are susceptible to noise, a directional statistical method is introduced to enhance the stability of fracture azimuth prediction. Then, by analyzing the relationship between second- and fourth-order Fourier coefficients under saturated fluid and gas-filled conditions, the Welch t-test, suitable for data with nonhomogeneous variance, is introduced to eliminate the influence of fluid type on fracture azimuth prediction. Numerical experiments and field data demonstrate that the proposed method overcomes the 90° ambiguity inherent in conventional fracture azimuth prediction, proving its stability and effectiveness in areas with severe structural variations.","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":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143938016","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 tackle this, we propose infrared small target detection YOLO (IRSTD-YOLO), a novel detection network. The edge and feature extraction (EFE) module enhances feature representation by integrating a SobelConv branch and a 2DConv branch. The SobelConv branch applies Sobel operators to extract gradient information, enhancing edge contrast and making small targets more distinguishable from the background. Unlike standard convolutions, which process all features uniformly, this edge-aware operation emphasizes structural information crucial for detecting small infrared targets. The 2DConv branch captures spatial context, complementing the edge features to create a more comprehensive representation. To further refine detection, we introduce the infrared small target enhancement (IRSTE) module, addressing the limitations of conventional feature pyramid networks. Instead of merely adding a shallow detection head, IRSTE processes and enhances shallow-layer features, which are rich in small target information, and fuses them with deeper features. By leveraging a multibranch strategy that integrates local, global, and large-scale contexts, IRSTE enhances small target representation and detection robustness, particularly in low-contrast environments where traditional networks often fail. Experimental results show that IRSTD-YOLO achieves an mAP@0.5:0.95 of 36.7% on the InfraredUAV dataset and 51.6% on the AntiUAV310 dataset, outperforming YOLOv11-s by 4.4% and 4.2%, respectively.

As a result, distinguishing clouds from snow in coexisting environments remains challenging. Moreover, most approaches struggle to adaptively model the boundaries of clouds, which is crucial for detecting thin clouds with ambiguous edges. To address these challenges, we propose a novel approach for cloud detection called FSCFNet, which captures guiding visual features from frequency and curvature computations. FSCFNet comprises two key modules: the frequency spectral feature enhancement module (FSFEM) and the curvature-based edge-awareness module (CEAM). The FSFEM leverages the distinct characteristics of spectral bands to extract instructive visual cues, enabling the network to learn robust discriminative features for ice, snow, and clouds. In contrast, the CEAM adaptively identifies texture-rich regions using curvature, enhancing the ability to delineate thin cloud boundaries.

Existing HSI OSC methods are usually based on learning labeled samples to identify unknown classes. However, due to the complex high-dimensional characteristics of HSIs and the limited number of labeled samples, the recognition of unknown classes based only on limited labeled samples often has low and unstable accuracy. To address this problem, we propose a semi-supervised graph constraint dual classifier network (SSGCDCN) that can achieve efficient and stable OSC by learning unknown class features and relationships among samples. First, a dual classifier consisting of a multiclassifier and multiple binary classifiers is constructed, which has the ability to discover the unknown class samples by assigning and enabling pseudo-labels to participate in model training to achieve unknown class feature learning. Then, to improve the classification accuracy of both known and unknown classes, a homogeneous graph constraint is imposed on SSGCDCN to learn the relationship information among samples (including labeled and unlabeled samples). This constraint can bring the features of similar samples closer while pushing apart features of dissimilar samples. Experiments evaluated on three datasets demonstrate that the proposed method can obtain superior OSC performance than other state-of-the-art classification 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":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144073034","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}
