Supervised polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image classification demands a large amount of precisely labeled data. However, such data are difficult to obtain. Therefore, many unsupervised methods have been proposed for unsupervised PolS...

Surface heat source (SHS) is a crucial factor affecting local weather systems. Particularly SHS on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) significantly influences East Asian atmospheric circulation and global climate. Accurate prediction of summer SHS on the TP is...

This study presents a procedure in which 3D electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) were used to determine singularities in the foundations of protected historic towers, where space is limited due to their character...

Over the past few years, there has been a noticeable change in the occurrence of seismic disasters in Sichuan, China. The focus has shifted from Western Sichuan to the previously more stable Southeastern Sichuan. The recent Ms6.0 earthquake in Luxian...

Human activities continuously alter the delivery of ecosystem services (ESs), which play a crucial role in human well-being. There is a pressing need for effective ecological management strategies that consider the spatial heterogeneity of ESs to sup...

Radar polarimetry is a technique that can be used to enhance target detection, identification and classification; however, the quality of these measurements can be significantly influenced by the characteristics of the radar antenna. For an accurate...

Remote sensing images contain a wealth of Earth-observation information. Efficient extraction and application of hidden knowledge from these images will greatly promote the development of resource and environment monitoring, urban planning and other...

Fire and smoke detection technologies face challenges in complex and dynamic environments. Traditional detectors are vulnerable to background noise, lighting changes, and similar objects (e.g., clouds, steam, dust), leading to high false alarm rates....

Surface mining in the southeastern Gobi Desert has significant environmental impacts, primarily due to the creation of large coal piles that are highly susceptible to aeolian processes. Using spaceborne remote sensing and numerical simulations, we in...

In order to enhance the detection of maritime vessel targets, considering the causal relationship between the motion of vessels and their wakes, as well as the characteristics of ship wakes such as large diffusion range and distinctive features, this...
