A Novel Rapeseed Mapping Framework Integrating Image Fusion, Automated Sample Generation, and Deep Learning in Southwest China by Ruolan Jiang, Xingyin Duan, Song Liao, Ziyi Tang, Hao Li

“…First, MODIS and Landsat data were used to fill the gaps in Sentinel-2 imagery, creating time-series images through the object-level processing version of the spatial and temporal adaptive reflectance fusion model (OL-STARFM). In addition, a novel spectral phenology approach was developed to automatically generate training samples, which were then input into the improved TS-ConvNeXt ECAPA-TDNN (NeXt-TDNN) deep learning model for accurate rapeseed mapping. …”

Diffusion Maps Clustering for Magnetic Resonance Q-Ball Imaging Segmentation by Demian Wassermann, Maxime Descoteaux, Rachid Deriche

“…In particular, our ODF diffusion maps requires a smaller number of hypothesis from the input data, reduces the number of artifacts in the segmentation, and automatically exhibits the number of clusters segmenting the Q-Ball image by using an adaptive scale-space parameter. We also show that our ODF diffusion maps clustering can reproduce published results using the diffusion tensor (DT) clustering with N-Cuts on simple synthetic images without crossings. …”

A Hybrid Deep Learning‐Based Forecasting Model for the Peak Height of Ionospheric F2 Layer by Ya‐fei Shi, Cheng Yang, Jian Wang, Yu Zheng, Fan‐yi Meng, Leonid F. Chernogor

“…Abstract To achieve accurate forecasting of the peak height of the ionospheric F2 layer (hmF2), we propose a hybrid deep learning model of improved seagull optimization algorithm (ISOA) optimized long short‐term memory (LSTM) model based on a complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) theory. The hybrid model decomposes the hmF2 time data into multiple subsequences through CEEMDAN and reconstructs the subsequences by sample entropy and correlation coefficient into high and low‐frequency sequences, which effectively shortens the calculation time of the model. …”
