East Dongting Lake is an important habitat for migratory birds. Accurately counting the number of migratory birds is crucial to assessing the health of the wetland ecological environment. Traditional manual observation and low-precision methods make it difficult to meet this demand. To this end, this paper proposes a weighted feature fusion network based on multi-level supervision (MS-WFFNet) to count migratory birds. MS-WFFNet consists of three parts: an EEMA-VGG16 sub-network, a multi-source feature aggregation (MSFA) module, and a density map regression (DMR) module. Among them, the EEMA-VGG16 sub-network cross-injects enhanced efficient multi-scale attention (EEMA) into the truncated VGG16 structure. It uses multi-head attention to nonlinearly learn the relative importance of different positions in the same direction. With only a few parameters added, EEMA effectively suppresses the noise interference caused by a cluttered background. The MSFA module integrates a weighted mechanism to fully preserve low-level detail information and high-level semantic information. It achieves this by aggregating multi-source features and enhancing the expression of key features. The DMR module applies density map regression to the output of each path in the MSFA module. It ensures local consistency and spatial correlation among multiple regression results by using distributed supervision. In addition, this paper presents the migratory bird counting dataset DTH, collected using local monitoring equipment in East Dongting Lake. It is combined with other object counting datasets for extensive experiments, showcasing the proposed method’s excellent performance and generalization capability. Full article

The accurate identification of natural disasters is crucial in ensuring effective post-disaster relief efforts. However, the existing models for disaster classification often incur high costs. To address this, we propose leveraging the most advanced pre-trained large language models, which offer superior generative and multimodal understanding capabilities. Using a question-answering approach, we extract textual descriptions and category prediction probabilities for disaster scenarios, which are then used as input to our proposed Mamba Multimodal Disaster Recognition Network (Mamba-MDRNet). This model integrates a large pre-trained model with the Mamba mechanism, enabling the selection of the most reliable modality information as a robust basis for scene classification. Extensive experiments demonstrate consistent performance improvements across various visual models with heterogeneous architectures. Notably, integrating EfficientNet within Mamba-MDRNet yielded 97.82% accuracy for natural scene classification, surpassing the performance of the CNN (91.75%), ViT (94.50%), and ResNet18 (97.25%). These results highlight the potential of multimodal models combining large models and the Mamba mechanism for disaster type prediction. Full article
