Dual-Branch Soft Attention Network With Multiscale Feature Interaction for Hyperspectral and LiDAR Data Classification
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In recent years, remote sensing (RS) data have become increasingly diversified due to the continuous innovation of sensors, communications, computers, and other technologies. The use of multimodal data for Earth observation missions has become a crucial research topic. Compared with single-source RS data, the fusion of multisouce RS data can obtain more comprehensive information for categorizing scenes. However, multisource RS images fusion classification usually requires complex feature extraction and fusion, building a suitable network complexity to facilitate heterogeneous information exchange and avoid substantial redundancy is a significant challenge. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a lightweight dual-branch soft-attention classification framework, which designs the multiscale feature interaction module for collaborative HSI-LiDAR classification. Compared with other cutting-edge models, the proposed framework is compact and deeply integrates multimodality heterogeneous characteristics. The multiscale feature interaction module consists of a multiscale information fusion pattern and a soft attention module, which can effectively extract hierarchical information and improve the heterogeneous feature representation. In addition, the Transformer module adopts weight-sharing to process features from different branches, effectively improve both parameter reduction and the powerful modeling capability of long-range dependencies. To validate the efficacy and advantages of our proposed framework, extensive experiments were performed across three datasets. The results indicate superior performance compared to current state-of-the-art approaches.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
