Geoscience and Remote Sensing

Remote sensing of environment research has explored the benefits of using synthetic aperture radar imagery systems for a wide range of land and marine applications since these systems are not affected by weather conditions and therefore are operable both daytime and nighttime. The design of image processing techniques for  synthetic aperture radar applications requires tests and validation on real and synthetic images. The GRSS benchmark database supports the desing and analysis of algorithms to deal with SAR and PolSAR data.

This is a wheat breeding phenotyping and yield dataset, including canopy height (CH, m), canopy volume (CV, m3), and leaf area index (LAI) collected in the field; vegetation index (VI) generated by multispectral data acquired by UAV remote sensing; trial site weather (Weather); and yield (Yield, kg). The data comes from field trials.

Data acquisition and processing are described in the relevant part of the manuscript.

This study introduces a novel soil texture dataset designed to overcome geographic constraints and improve the generalization of classification models. Using the USDA soil classification triangle as a framework, the dataset is systematically generated by combining pure sand, silt, and clay in varying proportions to create diverse soil texture classes. The soil mixtures are captured using a multispectral sensor with seven bands, ensuring a rich representation of spectral information.

This datasets include six kinds of data, they are sea surface temperature, sea surface height, sea surface salinity, sea surface density, and current velocity in two directions. These physical variables are obtained from high-resolution observations, which can offer important understanding of the physical processes that affect SST variations. The study area spans from 5N to 5S in latitude and from 160W to 170W in longitude. The data used have a spatial resolution of 0.05 degree.

Using the PVIFS-02 whole-sky imagers, we collected 500,000 independent cloud images from 2021 to 2023, captured in a southern city and a northern city in China. The cloud images collected in southern China are clear, with obvious cloud edges. In contrast, the cloud images from northern China appear relatively blurred. This difference is attributed to the geographical characteristics of northern China, where regions are frequently affected by sand and dust, leading to a certain degree of image blurring. It brings challenges to cloud detection and classification.

Information flow (both large and small), in dynamic interactions with local geographic conditions, can leave a strong imprint on the way customers access reliable financial information, eventually improving their daily lifestyles. Such a context is important in geographically and socio-economically challenged economies, such as Africa. The challenges are acute when the information flow is very large, as the increasing availability of big data in these economies requires resilient and need-based adaptive innovation solutions.

The EuroSAT-SAR dataset is a SAR version of the EuroSAT dataset. We matched each Sentinel-2 image in EuroSAT with one Sentinel-1 patch according to the geospatial coordinates, ending up with 27,000 dual-pol Sentinel-1 SAR images divided in 10 classes. The EuroSAT-SAR dataset was collected as one downstream task in the work FG-MAE to serve as a CIFAR-like, clean, balanced ML-ready dataset for remote sensing SAR image recognition.

Optical remote sensing images, with their high spatial resolution and wide coverage, have emerged as invaluable tools for landslide analysis. Visual interpretation and manual delimitation of landslide areas in optical remote sensing images by human is labor intensive and inefficient. Automatic delimitation of landslide areas empowered by deep learning methods has drawn tremendous attention in recent years. Mask R-CNN and U-Net are the two most popular deep learning frameworks for image segmentation in computer vision.

When training supervised deep learning models for despeckling SAR images, it is necessary to have a labeled dataset with pairs of images to be able to assess the quality of the filtering process. These pairs of images must be noisy and ground truth. The noisy images contain the speckle generated during the backscatter of the microwave signal, while the ground truth is generated through multitemporal fusion operations. In this paper, two operations are performed: mean and median.
