Previous works, often based on the encoder-decoder structure and utilizing multiple upsampling and downsampling layers, are computationally expensive. To improve efficiency, the paper proposes two modules: the efficient spatial resolution recovery module(ESRR) for upsampling and the efficient depth information augmentation module(EDIA) for downsampling.These modules not only reduce model complexity but also enhance performance. Additionally, the partial feature weight learning module(PFWL) is introduced to reduce the computational burden by applying weight learning across partial dimensions, rather than using full-channel convolution.To overcome the limitations of convolutional neural networks(CNN)-based networks, the haze distribution index transformer(HDIT) is integrated into the decoder. We also propose the physicalbased non-adjacent feature fusion module(PNFF), which leverages the atmospheric scattering model to improve generalization of our MDWR-Net. The MDWR-Net achieves superior dehazing performance with a computational cost of just 2.98×10^(9) multiply-accumulate operations(MACs),which is less than one-tenth of previous methods. Experimental results validate its effectiveness in balancing performance and computational efficiency.展开更多

文摘In recent years,convolutional neural networks(CNN)and Transformer architectures have made significant progress in the field of remote sensing(RS)change detection(CD).Most of the existing methods directly stack multiple layers of Transformer blocks,which achieves considerable improvement in capturing variations,but at a rather high computational cost.We propose a channel-Efficient Change Detection Network(CE-CDNet)to address the problems of high computational cost and imbalanced detection accuracy in remote sensing building change detection.The adaptive multi-scale feature fusion module(CAMSF)and lightweight Transformer decoder(LTD)are introduced to improve the change detection effect.The CAMSF module can adaptively fuse multi-scale features to improve the model’s ability to detect building changes in complex scenes.In addition,the LTD module reduces computational costs and maintains high detection accuracy through an optimized self-attention mechanism and dimensionality reduction operation.Experimental test results on three commonly used remote sensing building change detection data sets show that CE-CDNet can reduce a certain amount of computational overhead while maintaining detection accuracy comparable to existing mainstream models,showing good performance advantages.

文摘Recent years have seen a surge in interest in object detection on remote sensing images for applications such as surveillance andmanagement.However,challenges like small object detection,scale variation,and the presence of closely packed objects in these images hinder accurate detection.Additionally,the motion blur effect further complicates the identification of such objects.To address these issues,we propose enhanced YOLOv9 with a transformer head(YOLOv9-TH).The model introduces an additional prediction head for detecting objects of varying sizes and swaps the original prediction heads for transformer heads to leverage self-attention mechanisms.We further improve YOLOv9-TH using several strategies,including data augmentation,multi-scale testing,multi-model integration,and the introduction of an additional classifier.The cross-stage partial(CSP)method and the ghost convolution hierarchical graph(GCHG)are combined to improve detection accuracy by better utilizing feature maps,widening the receptive field,and precisely extracting multi-scale objects.Additionally,we incorporate the E-SimAM attention mechanism to address low-resolution feature loss.Extensive experiments on the VisDrone2021 and DIOR datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of YOLOv9-TH,showing good improvement in mAP compared to the best existing methods.The YOLOv9-TH-e achieved 54.2% of mAP50 on the VisDrone2021 dataset and 92.3% of mAP on the DIOR dataset.The results confirmthemodel’s robustness and suitability for real-world applications,particularly for small object detection in remote sensing images.
文摘This study presents an AI-driven Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS) aimed at transforming groundwater suitability assessments for domestic and irrigation uses in Visakhapatnam District, Andhra Pradesh, India. By employing advanced remote sensing, GIS, and machine learning techniques, groundwater quality data from 50 monitoring wells, sourced from the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), was meticulously analysed. Key parameters, including pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, and major ion concentrations, were evaluated against World Health Organization (WHO) standards to determine domestic suitability. For irrigation, advanced metrics such as Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Kelly’s Ratio, Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC), and percentage sodium (% Na) were utilized to assess water quality. The integration of GIS for spatial mapping and AI models for predictive analytics allows for a comprehensive visualization of groundwater quality distribution across the district. Additionally, the irrigation water quality was evaluated using the USA Salinity Laboratory diagram, providing essential insights for effective agricultural water management. This innovative SDSS framework promises to significantly enhance groundwater resource management, fostering sustainable practices for both domestic use and agriculture in the region.

文摘Acoustic detection has many applications across science and technology from medicine to imaging and communications.However,most acoustic sensors have a common limitation in that the detection must be near the acoustic source.Alternatively,laser interferometry with picometer-scale motional displacement detection can rapidly and precisely measure sound-induced minute vibrations on remote surfaces.Here,we demonstrate the feasibility of sound detection up to 100 kHz at remote sites with≈60 m optical path length via laser homodyne interferometry.Based on our ultrastable hertz linewidth laser with 10-15 fractional stability,our laser interferometer achieves 0.5 pm/Hz1/2 displacement sensitivity near 10 kHz,bounded only by laser frequency noise over 10 kHz.Between 140 Hz and 15 kHz,we achieve a homodyne acoustic sensing sensitivity of subnanometer/Pascal across our conversational frequency overtones.The minimal sound pressure detectable over 60 m optical path length is≈2 mPa,with dynamic ranges over 100 dB.With the demonstrated standoff picometric distance metrology,we successfully detected and reconstructed musical scores of normal conversational volumes with high fidelity.The acoustic detection via this precision laser interferometer could be applied to selective area sound sensing for remote acoustic metrology,optomechanical vibrational motion sensing,and ultrasensitive optical microphones at the laser frequency noise limits.
文摘Multifarious regions around the world are exposed to natural hazards and disasters,each with unique characteristics.A higher frequency of extreme hydro-meteorological events,most probably related to climate change,and an increase in vulnerable population have been addressed as potential causes of such disasters.To mitigate the consequences of these disasters,Disaster Risk Management,including hazard assessment,elements-at-risk mapping,vulnerability and risk assessment of spatial components as well as Earth Observation(EO)products and Geographic Information Systems(GIS),should be considered.Multihazard assessment entails the evaluation of relationships between various hazards,including interconnected or cascading events,as well as focusing on various levels from global to local community levels,as each level manifests particular objectives and spatial data.This paper presents an overview of the diverse types of spatial data and explores the methods applied in hazard and risk assessments,with volcanic eruptions serving as a specific example.The rapid development of scientific research and the advancement of Earth Observation satellites in recent years have revolutionized the concepts of geologists and researchers.These satellites now play an indispensable role in supporting first responders during major disasters.The coordination of satellite deployment ensures a swift response along with allowing for the timely delivery of critical images.In tandem,remote sensing technologies and geographic information systems(GIS)have emerged as essential tools for geospatial analysis.The application of remote sensing and GIS for the detection of natural disasters was examined through a review of academic papers,offering an analysis of how remote sensing is utilized to assess natural hazards and their link to climate change.

文摘Remote sensing scene image classification is a prominent research area within remote sensing.Deep learningbased methods have been extensively utilized and have shown significant advancements in this field.Recent progress in these methods primarily focuses on enhancing feature representation capabilities to improve performance.The challenge lies in the limited spatial resolution of small-sized remote sensing images,as well as image blurring and sparse data.These factors contribute to lower accuracy in current deep learning models.Additionally,deeper networks with attention-based modules require a substantial number of network parameters,leading to high computational costs and memory usage.In this article,we introduce ERSNet,a lightweight novel attention-guided network for remote sensing scene image classification.ERSNet is constructed using a deep separable convolutional network and incorporates an attention mechanism.It utilizes spatial attention,channel attention,and channel self-attention to enhance feature representation and accuracy,while also reducing computational complexity and memory usage.Experimental results indicate that,compared to existing state-of-the-art methods,ERSNet has a significantly lower parameter count of only 1.2 M and reduced Flops.It achieves the highest classification accuracy of 99.14%on the EuroSAT dataset,demonstrating its suitability for application on mobile terminal devices.Furthermore,experimental results from the UCMerced land use dataset and the Brazilian coffee scene also confirm the strong generalization ability of this method.

文摘Enhancing the carbon sink of terrestrial ecosystems is an essential nature-based solution to mitigate global warming and achieve the target of carbon neutrality.Over recent decades,China has launched a series of long-running and large-scale ambitious forestation projects.However,there is still a lack of year-to-year evaluation on the effects of afforestation on carbon sequestration.Satellite remote sensing provides continuous observations of vegetation dynamics and land use and land cover change,is becoming a practical tool to evaluate the changes of vegetation productivity driven by afforestation.Here,a spatially-explicit analysis was conducted by combining Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS)land cover and three up-to-date remote sensing gross primary productivity(GPP)datasets of China.The results showed that the generated afforestation maps have similar spatial distribution with the national forest inventory data at the provincial level.The accumulative areas of afforestation were 3.02×10^(5)km^(2)in China from 2002 to 2018,it was mainly distributed in Southwest(SW),South(Sou),Southeast(SE)and Northeast(NE)of China.Among them,SW possesses the largest afforestation sub-region,with an area of 9.38×10^(4)km^(2),accounting for 31.06%of the total.There were divergent trends of affores-tation area among different sub-regions.The southern sub-regions showed increasing trends,while the northern sub-regions showed decreasing trends.In keeping with these,the center of annual afforestation moved to the south after 2009.The southern sub-regions were the majority of the cumula-tive GPP,accounting for nearly 70%of the total.The GPP of new afforestation showed an increasing trend from 2002 to 2018,and the increasing rate was higher than existing forests.After afforestation,the GPP change of afforestation was higher than adjacent non-forest over the same period.Our work provides new evidence that afforestation of China has enhanced the carbon assimilation and will deepen our understanding of dynamics of carbon sequestration driven by afforestation.

文摘Semantic segmentation of remote sensing images is a critical research area in the field of remote sensing.Despite the success of Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs),they often fail to capture inter-layer feature relationships and fully leverage contextual information,leading to the loss of important details.Additionally,due to significant intraclass variation and small inter-class differences in remote sensing images,CNNs may experience class confusion.To address these issues,we propose a novel Category-Guided Feature Collaborative Learning Network(CG-FCLNet),which enables fine-grained feature extraction and adaptive fusion.Specifically,we design a Feature Collaborative Learning Module(FCLM)to facilitate the tight interaction of multi-scale features.We also introduce a Scale-Aware Fusion Module(SAFM),which iteratively fuses features from different layers using a spatial attention mechanism,enabling deeper feature fusion.Furthermore,we design a Category-Guided Module(CGM)to extract category-aware information that guides feature fusion,ensuring that the fused featuresmore accurately reflect the semantic information of each category,thereby improving detailed segmentation.The experimental results show that CG-FCLNet achieves a Mean Intersection over Union(mIoU)of 83.46%,an mF1 of 90.87%,and an Overall Accuracy(OA)of 91.34% on the Vaihingen dataset.On the Potsdam dataset,it achieves a mIoU of 86.54%,an mF1 of 92.65%,and an OA of 91.29%.These results highlight the superior performance of CG-FCLNet compared to existing state-of-the-art methods.

文摘One of the crucial elements that is directly tied to the quality of living organisms is the quality of the water.How-ever,water quality has been adversely affected by plastic pollution,a global environmental disaster that has an effect on aquatic life,wildlife,and human health.To prevent these effects,better monitoring,detection,characterisation,quanti-fication,and tracking of aquatic plastic pollution at regional and global scales is urgently needed.Remote sensing tech-nology is regarded as a useful technique,as it offers a promising new and less labour-intensive tool for the detection,quantification,and characterisation of aquatic plastic pollution.The study seeks to supplement to the body of scientific literature by compiling original data on the monitoring of plastic pollution in aquatic environments using remote sensing technology,which can function as a cost saving method for water pollution and risk management in developing nations.This article provides a profound analysis of plastic pollution,including its categories,sources,distribution,chemical properties,and potential risks.It also provides an in-depth review of remote sensing technologies,satellite-derived in-dices,and research trends related to their applicability.Additionally,the study clarifies the difficulties in using remote sensing technologies for aquatic plastic monitoring and practical ways to reduce aquatic plastic pollution.The study will improve the understanding of aquatic plastic pollution,health hazards,and the suitability of remote sensing technology for aquatic plastic contamination monitoring studies among researchers and interested parties.
文摘Blue carbon ecosystems,including mangroves,seagrasses,and salt marshes,play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by capturing and storing atmospheric CO_(2)at rates exceeding those of terrestrial forests.This study explores the potential of HCWs(Human-Controlled Wetlands)in the Italian Venice Lagoon as an underappreciated component of the global blue carbon pool.Using GEE(Google Earth Engine),we conducted a large-scale assessment of carbon sequestration in these wetlands,demonstrating its advantages over traditional in situ methods in addressing spatial variability.Our findings highlight the significance of below-water mud sediments as primary carbon reservoirs,with a TC(Total Carbon)content of 3.81%±0.94%and a stable storage function akin to peat,reinforced by high CEC(Cation Exchange Capacity).GEE analysis identified a redoximorphic zone at a depth of 20-30 cm,where microbial respiration shifts to anaerobic pathways,preventing carbon release and maintaining long-term sequestration.The study also evaluates key factors affecting remote sensing accuracy,including tidal variations,water depth,and sky cover.The strong correlation between field-measured and satellite-derived carbon parameters(R^(2)>0.85)confirms the reliability of our approach.Furthermore,we developed a GEE-based script for monitoring sediment bioturbation,leveraging Sentinel-1 SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar)and Sentinel-2 optical data to quantify biological disturbances affecting carbon fluxes.Our results underscore the value of HCWs for carbon sequestration,reinforcing the need for targeted conservation strategies.The scalability and efficiency of remote sensing methodologies,particularly GEE,make them essential for the long-term monitoring of blue carbon ecosystems and the development of effective climate mitigation policies.
文摘This paper introduces a lightweight remote sensing image dehazing network called multidimensional weight regulation network(MDWR-Net), which addresses the high computational cost of existing methods. Previous works, often based on the encoder-decoder structure and utilizing multiple upsampling and downsampling layers, are computationally expensive. To improve efficiency, the paper proposes two modules: the efficient spatial resolution recovery module(ESRR) for upsampling and the efficient depth information augmentation module(EDIA) for downsampling.These modules not only reduce model complexity but also enhance performance. Additionally, the partial feature weight learning module(PFWL) is introduced to reduce the computational burden by applying weight learning across partial dimensions, rather than using full-channel convolution.To overcome the limitations of convolutional neural networks(CNN)-based networks, the haze distribution index transformer(HDIT) is integrated into the decoder. We also propose the physicalbased non-adjacent feature fusion module(PNFF), which leverages the atmospheric scattering model to improve generalization of our MDWR-Net. The MDWR-Net achieves superior dehazing performance with a computational cost of just 2.98×10^(9) multiply-accumulate operations(MACs),which is less than one-tenth of previous methods. Experimental results validate its effectiveness in balancing performance and computational efficiency.
