Early warning systems on edge devices such as satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are essential for effective forest fire prevention. Edge Intelligence (EI) enables deploying deep learning models on edge devices; however, traditional convo...

Mining-induced subsidence boundaries, i.e., the surface areas affected by underground mining, play an important role in surface damage assessment and illegal mining identification. Traditional boundary delineation methods rely on field surveys, which...

Underground pipelines form a critical part of urban infrastructure, yet their complex configurations and fragmented documentation hinder efficient maintenance and risk management. Ground-penetrating radar provides a non-invasive method for subsurface...

Satellite-based Earth Observation (EO) has been proposed as an efficient, replicable, and scale-able method for monitoring kelp forests. Although kelps (Laminariales) have been mapped with multispectral EO, no evaluation of kelps’ separability...

The Puruogangri Ice Field (PIF) in the central Tibetan Plateau, known as the world’s Third Pole, is the largest modern ice field in the Tibetan Plateau and a crucial indicator of climate change. Although it was thought to be quiet, recent studi...

Over the last decade, L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite data has become more widely available globally, providing new opportunities for biodiversity and ecosystem services (BES) monitoring. To better understand these opportunities, we c...

Road cracks represent a significant challenge that impacts the long-term performance and safety of transportation infrastructure. Early identification of these cracks is crucial for effective road maintenance management. However, traditional crack re...

Space-based infrared (IR) detection, with wide coverage, all-time operation, and stealth, is crucial for aerial target surveillance. Under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions, however, its small target size, limited features, and strong clutte...

Doppler scatterometers have demonstrated the ability to measure wide-swath ocean surface currents from airborne platforms. Since platform velocities for spaceborne platforms are almost two orders of magnitude larger, errors in the knowledge of the po...

Against the backdrop of global energy transition, geothermal energy has emerged as a critical renewable resource, yet its exploration remains challenging due to uneven subsurface distribution and complex surface conditions. This study pioneers a nove...
