IncSAR: A Dual Fusion Incremental Learning Framework for SAR Target Recognition by George Karantaidis, Athanasios Pantsios, Ioannis Kompatsiaris, Symeon Papadopoulos

“…Moreover, a random projection layer improves the linear separability of features, and a variant of Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) decorrelates extracted class prototypes for better generalization. Extensive experiments on the MSTAR, SAR-AIRcraft-1.0, and OpenSARShip benchmark datasets demonstrate that IncSAR significantly outperforms state-of-the-art approaches, achieving a 99.63% average accuracy and a 0.33% performance drop, representing an 89% improvement in retention compared to existing techniques. …”

Drought-induced stress on rainfed and irrigated agriculture: Insights from multi-source satellite-derived ecological indicators by Yanan Chen, Ying Wang, Chaoyang Wu, Alexandre Maniçoba da Rosa Ferraz Jardim, Meihong Fang, Li Yao, Guihua Liu, Qiuyi Xu, Lintao Chen, Xuguang Tang

“…Our study revisited the spatio-temporal evolution of record-breaking drought event of 2012 in the continental United States by using a 3-month Standard Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI3), and analyzed the impacts of such drought based on three satellite-based ecological metrics, including structural metric (LAI) and physiological metrics (GPP, GOSIF) across the irrigated and rainfed croplands, respectively. Generally, these metrics exhibited obvious seasonal dynamics, and successfully captured the drought-induced stress on agriculture in 2012. …”
