ReluformerN: Lightweight High-Low Frequency Enhanced for Hyperspectral Agricultural Lancover Classification by LIU Yi, ZHANG Yanjun

“…[Objective]In order to intelligently monitor the distribution of agricultural land cover types, high-spectral cameras are usually mounted on drones to collect high-spectral data, followed by classification of the high-spectral data to automatically draw crop distribution maps. Different crops have similar shapes, and the same crop has significant differences in different growth stages, so the network model for agricultural land cover classification requires a high degree of accuracy. …”
