AI Technical Summary
Existing multimodal remote sensing image classification models are ill-equipped to handle modality loss caused by extreme weather or specific time periods. Furthermore, existing methods are computationally intensive, complex to train, and lack good scalability and flexibility when dealing with modality loss.
A multimodal remote sensing image classification method is designed under arbitrary modality loss conditions. By constructing encoders for hyperspectral, synthetic aperture radar and digital surface model images, and combining them with shared feature extraction and generation modules, a one-stage pre-training and two-stage fine-tuning approach is adopted. Attention mechanism and logic-guided gating fusion module are used for feature reconstruction and fusion.
It achieves stable high-performance classification even with arbitrary modal missing conditions, and has good scalability and versatility. It performs particularly well on small sample classes and imbalanced data, and the classification results are closer to the true labels. The classification of edge regions and dense regions is more refined.
