Hyperspectral Image Classification

Differentiating between oyster species is important for developing new commercial oyster species suited to production systems and is critical for traceability in seafood supply chains. Common methods, such as DNA profiling, are destructive and time consuming. The possibility of using hyperspectral imaging (HSI) for discriminating between Black-Lip rock (BL) and Sydney rock (SR) oysters was investigated. Live BL and SR samples (N = 156) were scanned with a HSI camera (950-2515nm). Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis and Convolutional Neural Networks were trained with Monte Carlo Cross Validation to distinguish BL and SR oysters from the spectral reflectance of their left and rights valves. The PLS-DA model successfully distinguished between the species from both the left and right valves with a median test set classification accuracy of 100%, out performing the CNN with 83% and 96% respectively. Elemental and mineralogical composition in the surface and cross-section of oyster valves were measured with electron microscopy. Analysis of the right valve revealed a greater number of layers in BL compared to SR (4 vs 2). The concentrations of carbon and oxygen varied in the outer layer of the right valves, with BL being rich in carbon and SR being rich in oxygen. The variation in carbon and oxygen concentrations observed between BL and SR right valves may reflect differences in the relative abundance or composition of chitin and glycoproteins. This is supported by model-derived wavelength importance corresponding to vibrational modes of functional groups characteristic of these compounds. Transmittance analysis revealed that light was transmitted through the valves, around the valve edges, indicating that the spectral signatures may have been influenced by the other valve or the meat. Ultimately, the findings highlight an effective rapid, non-destructive methodology for oyster species.

Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification is challenging in complex scenes due to spectral ambiguity, spatial heterogeneity, and the strong coupling between material properties and geometric structures. Although LiDAR provides complementary elevation information, most HSI-LiDAR fusion methods rely on CNNs or MLPs with fixed activation functions and linear weights. These methods struggle to model structural discontinuities in LiDAR data, intricate spectral features of HSI, and their interactions. In addition, fusion of the two modalities in both spatial and frequency domains with LiDAR guidance remains underexplored. To address these issues, we propose the Implicit Frequency-Geometry Fusion Network (IFGNet), which leverages Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) with learnable spline-based functions to adaptively capture highly nonlinear relationships between hyperspectral and LiDAR features. Furthermore, IFGNet introduces a LiDAR-guided implicit aggregation module in both spatial and frequency domains, enhancing geometry-aware spatial representations while capturing global structural patterns. Experiments on the Houston 2013 and MUUFL benchmarks demonstrate that IFGNet consistently outperforms existing fusion methods in overall accuracy, average accuracy, and Cohen's Kappa, while maintaining an efficient architecture.

Cross-scene hyperspectral image (HSI) classification stands as a fundamental research topic in remote sensing, with extensive applications spanning various fields. Owing to the inclusion of unknown categories in the target domain and the existence of domain shift across different scenes, open-set domain adaptation techniques are commonly employed to address cross-scene HSI classification. However, existing open-set cross-scene HSI classification methods still face two critical challenges: (1) domain shift issues arising from the direct alignment of mixed spectral-spatial features; (2) high computational costs caused by two-stage training strategies. To address these issues, this paper proposes a single-stage open-set domain adaptation method with decoupled alignment (SoDa$^2$) for cross-scene HSI classification. A contribution-aware dual-modality feature extraction is customized to disentangle the characteristics from spectral sequence signals and spatial details, selectively and adaptively enhancing discriminative features. The decoupled alignment module minimizes the Maximum Mean Discrepancy to independently reduce the spectral discrepancy and the spatial discrepancy between the source and target domains, extracting more fine-grained domain-invariant features. A cost-effective single-stage dual-branch framework is designed to learn MMD-constrainted aligned features and constraint-free intrinsic features for adaptive distinction between known and unknown classes. This framework employs a Gaussian Mixture Model to model the squared cosine similarity distribution between the two feature types, enabling open-set recognition without prior knowledge of unknown classes. Extensive experiments on three groups of HSI datasets demonstrate that SoDa$^2$ outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving superior classification accuracy and model transferability for open-set cross-scene tasks.

Hyperspectral image classification demands spatially coherent predictions and precise boundary delineation. Yet prevailing superpixel-based methods face an inherent contradiction: clustering aggregates similar pixels into regions, but the subsequent classifier operates pixel-wise, undermining regional consistency. Consequently, existing approaches do not guarantee region-level, boundary-aligned classification. To address this limitation, we propose the Dual-stage Spectrum-Constrained Clustering-based Classifier (DSCC), an end-to-end framework that explicitly decouples clustering from classification by first grouping spectral similar and spatially proximate pixels into spectral supertokens and then performing token-level prediction. At its core, DSCC computes an image-level multi-criteria feature distance between pixels and centers, followed by a locality-aware assignment regularization, enabling the generation of boundary-preserving spectral supertokens. A density-isolation based center selection further yields representative, well-separated centers, reducing redundancy and improving robustness to scale variation. To accommodate mixed land-cover compositions within each token, we introduce a soft-label scheme that encodes class proportions and improves robustness for mixed-class tokens. DSCC attains a CF1 of 0.728 at 197.75 FPS on the WHU-OHS dataset, offering a superior accuracy-efficiency trade-off compared with state-of-the-art methods. Extensive experiments further validate the effectiveness and generality of the proposed dual-stage paradigm for hyperspectral image classification.

Hyperspectral image (HSI) and SAR/LiDAR data offer complementary spectral and structural information for land-cover classification. However, their effective fusion remains challenging due to two major limitations: The spectral redundancy in high-dimensional HSI and the heterogeneous characteristics between multi-source data. To this end, we propose Representative Spectral Correlation Network (RSCNet), a novel multi-source image classification framework specifically designed to address the above challenges through spectral selection and adaptive interaction. The network incorporates two key components: (1) Key Band Selection Module (KBSM) that adaptively selects task-relevant spectral bands from the original HSI under cross-source guidance, thereby alleviating redundancy and mitigating information loss from conventional PCA-based spectral reduction. Moreover, the learned band subset exhibits highly discriminative spectral structures that align with discriminative semantic cues, promoting compact yet expressive representations. (2) Cross-source Adaptive Fusion Module (CAFM) that performs cross-source attention weighting and local-global contextual refinement to enhance cross-source feature interaction. Experiments on three public benchmark datasets demonstrate that our RSCNet achieves superior performance compared with state-of-the-art methods, while maintaining substantially lower computational complexity. Our codes are publicly available at https://github.com/oucailab/RSCNet.

Recently, Hyperspectral Image (HSI) classification has attracted increasing attention in remote sensing. However, HSI data are inherently high-dimensional but low-rank, with discriminative information concentrated on a low-dimensional latent manifold. In real-world remote sensing scenarios, the superposition of multiple degradation factors disrupts this intrinsic manifold structure, driving samples away from their original low-dimensional distribution and introducing substantial redundant and non-discriminative variations. To better handle this challenge, this paper proposes a manifold-space diffusion framework (MSDiff) for robust hyperspectral classification under complex degradation conditions. Specifically, the proposed method first maps high-dimensional, degradation-affected HSI data into a compact low-dimensional manifold through a discriminative spectral-spatial reconstruction task, preserving class semantics and reducing redundant variations. A diffusion-based generative model is then applied to regularize the spectral-spatial distribution within the manifold, enabling progressive refinement and stabilization of latent features against residual degradations. The key advantage of the proposed framework lies in performing diffusion-based distribution modeling directly on the low-dimensional manifold, effectively decoupling degradation-induced disturbances from intrinsic discriminative structures and enhancing representation stability under complex degradations. Experimental results on multiple hyperspectral benchmarks demonstrate consistent performance improvements over state-of-the-art methods under diverse composite degradation settings. The code will be available at https://github.com/yangboxiang1207/MSDiff

Over the past decade, hyperspectral image (HSI) classification has drawn considerable interest due to HSIs' ability to effectively distinguish terrestrial objects by capturing detailed, continuous spectral information. The strong performance of recent deep learning techniques in tasks like image classification and semantic segmentation has led to their growing use in HSI classification, due to their ability to capture complex spatial and spectral features more effectively than traditional methods. This paper presents MixerCA, a novel lightweight model for HSI classification that leverages depthwise convolution and a self-attention mechanism. MixerCA integrates depth-wise convolutions, token and channel mixing, and coordinate attention into a unified structure to decouple spatial and channel interactions, maintain consistent resolution throughout the network, and directly process HSI patches. Extensive experiments on four hyperspectral benchmark datasets reveal MixerCA's clear advantages over several competing algorithms, including 2D-CNN, 3D-CNN, Tri-CNN, HybridSN, ViT, and Swin Transformer. The source code is publicly available at https://github.com/mqalkhatib/MixerCA.

In the hyperspectral image (HSI) classification task, each pixel is categorized into a specific land-cover category or material. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformers have been widely used to extract local and non-local features in HSI classification. Recent works have utilized a multi-scale vision transformer (ViT) to enhance spectral feature capture and yield promising results. However, most existing methods still face challenges in the effective joint use of spatial-spectral information and in preserving information across layers during the propagation process. To address these issues, we propose a synergistic CNN-Transformer network with pooling attention fusion for HSI classification, which collaboratively utilizes CNNs and ViT to process spatial and spectral features separately. Specifically, we propose a Twin-Branch Feature Extraction (TBFE) module, which employs 3D and 2D convolution in parallel to comprehensively extract spectral and spatial features from HSI. A hybrid pooling attention (HPA) module is designed to aggregate spatial attention. Moreover, a cascade transformer encoder is employed for global spectral feature extraction, and a simple yet efficient cross-layer feature fusion (CFF) module is designed to reduce the loss of crucial information in the previous network layers. Extensive experiments are conducted on several representative datasets to demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed method compared to the state-of-the-art works. Code is available at https://github.com/chenpeng052/SCT-Net.git.

Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification remains challenging due to high spectral dimensionality, redundancy, and limited labeled data. Although convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Vision Transformers (ViTs) achieve strong performance by exploiting spectral-spatial information and long-range dependencies, they often incur high computational cost and large model size, limiting practical use. To address these limitations, a unified hybrid framework, termed ConvVitMamba, is proposed for efficient HSI classification. The architecture integrates three components: a multiscale convolutional feature extractor to capture local spectral, spatial, and joint patterns; a Vision Transformer based tokenization and encoding stage to model global contextual relationships; and a lightweight Mamba inspired gated sequence mixing module for efficient content-aware refinement without quadratic self-attention. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used as preprocessing to reduce redundancy and improve efficiency. Experiments on four benchmark datasets, including Houston and three UAV borne QUH datasets (Pingan, Qingyun, and Tangdaowan), demonstrate that ConvVitMamba consistently outperforms CNN, Transformer, and Mamba based methods while maintaining a favorable balance between accuracy, model size, and inference efficiency. Ablation studies confirm the complementary contributions of all components. The results indicate that the proposed framework provides an effective and efficient solution for HSI classification in diverse scenarios.

Hyperspectral tree species classification is challenging due to limited and imbalanced class labels, spectral mixing (overlapping light signatures from multiple species), and ecological heterogeneity (variability among ecological systems). Addressing these challenges requires methods that integrate biological and structural characteristics of vegetation, such as canopy architecture and interspecific interactions, rather than relying solely on spectral signatures. This paper presents a biologically informed, semi-supervised deep learning method that integrates multi-sensor Earth observation data, specifically hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and airborne laser scanning (ALS), with expert, ecological knowledge. The approach relies on biologically inspired pseudo-labelling over a precomputed canopy graph, yielding accurate classification at low training cost. In addition, ecological priors on species cohabitation are automatically derived from reliable sources using large language models (LLMs) and encoded as a cohabitation matrix with likelihoods of species occurring together. These priors are incorporated into the pseudo-labelling strategy, effectively introducing expert knowledge into the model. Experiments on a real-world forest dataset demonstrate 5.6% improvement over the best reference method. Expert evaluation of cohabitation priors reveals high accuracy with differences no larger than 15%.

Hyperspectral imaging enables fine-grained recognition of materials by capturing rich spectral signatures, but learning robust classifiers is challenging due to high dimensionality, spectral redundancy, limited labeled data, and strong domain shifts. Beyond earth observation, labeled HSI data is often scarce and imbalanced, motivating compact models for generic hyperspectral classification across diverse acquisition regimes. We propose the lightweight Spectral-Spatial Fusion Transformer (SSFT), which factorizes representation learning into spectral and spatial pathways and integrates them via cross-attention to capture complementary wavelength-dependent and structural information. We evaluate our SSFT on the challenging HSI-Benchmark, a heterogeneous multi-dataset benchmark covering earth observation, fruit condition assessment, and fine-grained material recognition. SSFT achieves state-of-the-art overall performance, ranking first while using less than 2% of the parameters of the previous leading method. We further evaluate transfer to the substantially larger SpectralEarth benchmark under the official protocol, where SSFT remains competitive despite its compact size. Ablation studies show that both spectral and spatial pathways are crucial, with spatial modeling contributing most, and that SSFT remains robust without data augmentation.

Although hyperspectral image (HSI) classification is critical for supporting various environmental applications, it is a challenging task due to the spectral-mixture effect, the spatial-spectral heterogeneity and the difficulty to preserve class boundaries and details. This letter presents a novel unmixing-guided spatial-spectral Mamba with clustering tokens for improved HSI classification, with the following contributions. First, to disentangle the spectral mixture effect in HSI for improved pattern discovery, we design a novel spectral unmixing network that not only automatically learns endmembers and abundance maps from HSI but also accounts for endmember variabilities. Second, to generate Mamba token sequences, based on the clusters defined by abundance maps, we design an efficient Top-K token selection strategy to adaptively sequence the tokens for improved representational capability. Third, to improve spatial-spectral feature learning and detail preservation, based on the Top-K token sequences, we design a novel unmixing-guided spatial-spectral Mamba module that greatly improves traditional Mamba models in terms of token learning and sequencing. Fourth, to learn simultaneously the endmember-abundance patterns and classification labels, a multi-task scheme is designed for model supervision, leading to a new unmixing-classification framework that outputs not only accurate classification maps but also a comprehensive spectral-library and abundance maps. Comparative experiments on four HSI datasets demonstrate that our model can greatly outperform the other state-of-the-art approaches.

Transformer-based methods have improved hyperspectral image classification (HSIC) by modeling long-range spatial-spectral dependencies; however, their attention mechanisms typically rely on dot-product similarity, which mixes feature magnitude and orientation and may be suboptimal for hyperspectral data. This work revisits attention scoring from a geometric perspective and introduces a cosine-normalized attention formulation that aligns similarity computation with the angular structure of hyperspectral signatures. By projecting query and key embeddings onto a unit hypersphere and applying a squared cosine similarity, the proposed method emphasizes angular relationships while reducing sensitivity to magnitude variations. The formulation is integrated into a spatial-spectral Transformer and evaluated under extremely limited supervision. Experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach consistently achieves higher performance, outperforming several recent Transformer- and Mamba-based models despite using a lightweight backbone. In addition, a controlled analysis of multiple attention score functions shows that cosine-based scoring provides a reliable inductive bias for hyperspectral representation learning.

We present an innovative, cost-effective framework integrating laboratory Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) of the Bechar010 Lunar meteorite with ground-based lunar HSI and supervised Machine Learning(ML) to generate high-fidelity mineralogical maps. A 3mm thin section of Bechar010 was imaged under a microscope with a 30mm focal length lens at 150mm working distance, using 6x binning to increase the signal-to-noise ratio, producing a data cube (X $\times$ Y $\times$ $λ$ = $791 \times 1024 \times 224$, 0.24mm $\times$ 0.2mm resolution) across 400-1000}nm (224 bands, 2.7nm spectral sampling, 5.5nm full width at half maximum spectral resolution) using a Specim FX10 camera. Ground-based lunar HSI was captured with a Celestron 8SE telescope (3km/pixel), yielded a data cube ($371 \times 1024 \times 224$). Solar calibration was performed using a Spectralon reference ({99}% reflectance {<2}% error) ensured accurate reflectance spectra. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) with a radial basis function kernel, trained on expert-labeled spectra, achieved {93.7}% classification accuracy(5-fold cross-validation) for olivine ({92}% precision, {90}% recall) and pyroxene ({88}% precision, {86}{%} recall) in Bechar 010. LIME analysis identified key wavelengths (e.g., 485nm, {22.4}% for M3; 715nm, {20.6}% for M6) across 10 pre-selected regions (M1 to M10), indicating olivine-rich (Highland-like) and pyroxene-rich (Mare-like) compositions. SAM analysis revealed angles from 0.26 radian to 0.66 radian, linking M3 and M9 to Highlands and M6 and M10 to Mares. K-means clustering of Lunar data identified 10 mineralogical clusters ({88}% accuracy), validated against Chandrayaan-1 Moon mineralogy Mapper ($\rm M^3$) data (140m/pixel, 10nm spectral resolution).A novel push-broom HSI approach with a telescope achieves 0.8 arcsec resolution for lunar spectroscopy, inspiring full-sky multi-object spectral mapping.

Deep learning methods, including Convolutional Neural Networks, Transformers and Mamba, have achieved remarkable success in hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. Nevertheless, existing methods exhibit inflexible integration of local-global representations, inadequate handling of spectral-spatial scale disparities across heterogeneous bands, and susceptibility to the Hughes phenomenon under high-dimensional sample heterogeneity. To address these challenges, we propose Local-Global Expert Spatial-Spectral Transformer (LGEST), a novel framework that synergistically combines three key innovations. The LGEST first employs a Deep Spatial-Spectral Autoencoder (DSAE) to generate compact yet discriminative embeddings through hierarchical nonlinear compression, preserving 3D neighborhood coherence while mitigating information loss in high-dimensional spaces. Secondly, a Cross-Interactive Mixed Expert Feature Pyramid (CIEM-FPN) leverages cross-attention mechanisms and residual mixture-of-experts layers to dynamically fuse multi-scale features, adaptively weighting spectral discriminability and spatial saliency through learnable gating functions. Finally, a Local-Global Expert System (LGES) processes decomposed features via sparsely activated expert pairs: convolutional sub-experts capture fine-grained textures, while transformer sub-experts model long-range contextual dependencies, with a routing controller dynamically selecting experts based on real-time feature saliency. Extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets demonstrate that LGEST consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

In incremental classification tasks for hyperspectral images, catastrophic forgetting is an unavoidable challenge. While memory recall methods can mitigate this issue, they heavily rely on samples from old categories. This paper proposes a teacher-based knowledge retention method for incremental image classification. It alleviates model forgetting of old category samples by utilizing incremental category samples, without depending on old category samples. Additionally, this paper introduces a mask-based partial category knowledge distillation algorithm. By decoupling knowledge distillation, this approach filters out potentially misleading information that could misguide the student model, thereby enhancing overall accuracy. Comparative and ablation experiments demonstrate the proposed method's robust performance.

While hyperspectral images (HSI) benefit from numerous spectral channels that provide rich information for classification, the increased dimensionality and sensor variability make them more sensitive to distributional discrepancies across domains, which in turn can affect classification performance. To tackle this issue, hyperspectral single-source domain generalization (SDG) typically employs data augmentation to simulate potential domain shifts and enhance model robustness under the condition of single-source domain training data availability. However, blind augmentation may produce samples misaligned with real-world scenarios, while excessive emphasis on realism can suppress diversity, highlighting a tradeoff between realism and diversity that limits generalization to target domains. To address this challenge, we propose a spectral property-driven data augmentation (SPDDA) that explicitly accounts for the inherent properties of HSI, namely the device-dependent variation in the number of spectral channels and the mixing of adjacent channels. Specifically, SPDDA employs a spectral diversity module that resamples data from the source domain along the spectral dimension to generate samples with varying spectral channels, and constructs a channel-wise adaptive spectral mixer by modeling inter-channel similarity, thereby avoiding fixed augmentation patterns. To further enhance the realism of the augmented samples, we propose a spatial-spectral co-optimization mechanism, which jointly optimizes a spatial fidelity constraint and a spectral continuity self-constraint. Moreover, the weight of the spectral self-constraint is adaptively adjusted based on the spatial counterpart, thus preventing over-smoothing in the spectral dimension and preserving spatial structure. Extensive experiments conducted on three remote sensing benchmarks demonstrate that SPDDA outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

Hyperspectral image classification (HSIC) has been significantly advanced by deep learning methods that exploit rich spatial-spectral correlations. However, existing approaches still face fundamental limitations: transformer-based models suffer from poor scalability due to the quadratic complexity of self-attention, while recent Fourier transform-based methods typically rely on 2D spatial FFTs and largely ignore critical inter-band spectral dependencies inherent to hyperspectral data. To address these challenges, we propose Hybrid GFNet (HGFNet), a novel architecture that integrates localized 3D convolutional feature extraction with frequency-domain global filtering via GFNet-style blocks for efficient and robust spatial-spectral representation learning. HGFNet introduces three complementary frequency transforms tailored to hyperspectral imagery: Spectral Fourier Transform (a 1D FFT along the spectral axis), Spatial Fourier Transform (a 2D FFT over spatial dimensions), and Spatial-Spatial Fourier Transform (a 3D FFT jointly over spectral and spatial dimensions), enabling comprehensive and high-dimensional frequency modeling. The 3D convolutional layers capture fine-grained local spatial-spectral structures, while the Fourier-based global filtering modules efficiently model long-range dependencies and suppress noise. To further mitigate the severe class imbalance commonly observed in HSIC, HGFNet incorporates an Adaptive Focal Loss (AFL) that dynamically adjusts class-wise focusing and weighting, improving discrimination for underrepresented classes.

Deep neural networks have achieved strong performance in image classification tasks due to their ability to learn complex patterns from high-dimensional data. However, their large computational and memory requirements often limit deployment on resource-constrained platforms such as remote sensing devices and edge systems. Network compression techniques have therefore been proposed to reduce model size and computational cost while maintaining predictive performance. In this study, we conduct a systematic evaluation of neural network compression methods for a remote sensing application, namely hyperspectral land cover classification. Specifically, we examine three widely used compression strategies for convolutional neural networks: pruning, quantization, and knowledge distillation. Experiments are conducted on two benchmark hyperspectral datasets, considering classification accuracy, memory consumption, and inference efficiency. Our results demonstrate that compressed models can significantly reduce model size and computational cost while maintaining competitive classification performance. These findings provide insights into the trade-offs between compression ratio, efficiency, and accuracy, and highlight the potential of compression techniques for enabling efficient deep learning deployment in remote sensing applications.

Recently, DeepSeek has invented the manifold-constrained hyper-connection (mHC) approach which has demonstrated significant improvements over the traditional residual connection in deep learning models \cite{xie2026mhc}. Nevertheless, this approach has not been tailor-designed for improving hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. This paper presents a clustering-guided mHC Mamba model (mHC-HSI) for enhanced HSI classification, with the following contributions. First, to improve spatial-spectral feature learning, we design a novel clustering-guided Mamba module, based on the mHC framework, that explicitly learns both spatial and spectral information in HSI. Second, to decompose the complex and heterogeneous HSI into smaller clusters, we design a new implementation of the residual matrix in mHC, which can be treated as soft cluster membership maps, leading to improved explainability of the mHC approach. Third, to leverage the physical spectral knowledge, we divide the spectral bands into physically-meaningful groups and use them as the "parallel streams" in mHC, leading to a physically-meaningful approach with enhanced interpretability. The proposed approach is tested on benchmark datasets in comparison with the state-of-the-art methods, and the results suggest that the proposed model not only improves the accuracy but also enhances the model explainability.

Accurate classification of hyperspectral imagery (HSI) is often frustrated by the tension between high-dimensional spectral data and the extreme scarcity of labeled training samples. While hierarchical models like LoLA-SpecViT have demonstrated the power of local windowed attention and parameter-efficient fine-tuning, the quadratic complexity of standard Transformers remains a barrier to scaling. We introduce VP-Hype, a framework that rethinks HSI classification by unifying the linear-time efficiency of State-Space Models (SSMs) with the relational modeling of Transformers in a novel hybrid architecture. Building on a robust 3D-CNN spectral front-end, VP-Hype replaces conventional attention blocks with a Hybrid Mamba-Transformer backbone to capture long-range dependencies with significantly reduced computational overhead. Furthermore, we address the label-scarcity problem by integrating dual-modal Visual and Textual Prompts that provide context-aware guidance for the feature extraction process. Our experimental evaluation demonstrates that VP-Hype establishes a new state of the art in low-data regimes. Specifically, with a training sample distribution of only 2%, the model achieves Overall Accuracy (OA) of 99.69% on the Salinas dataset and 99.45% on the Longkou dataset. These results suggest that the convergence of hybrid sequence modeling and multi-modal prompting provides a robust path forward for high-performance, sample-efficient remote sensing.
