Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Although MODIS time series data are critical for supporting dynamic, large-scale land cover land use classification, it is a challenging task to capture the subtle class signature information due to key MODIS difficulties, e.g., high temporal dimensionality, mixed pixels, and spatial-temporal-spectral coupling effect. This paper presents a novel spatial-temporal-spectral Mamba (STSMamba) with deformable token sequence for enhanced MODIS time series classification, with the following key contributions. First, to disentangle temporal-spectral feature coupling, a temporal grouped stem (TGS) module is designed for initial feature learning. Second, to improve Mamba modeling efficiency and accuracy, a sparse, deformable Mamba sequencing (SDMS) approach is designed, which can reduce the potential information redundancy in Mamba sequence and improve the adaptability and learnability of the Mamba sequencing. Third, based on SDMS, to improve feature learning, a novel spatial-temporal-spectral Mamba architecture is designed, leading to three modules, i.e., a sparse deformable spatial Mamba module (SDSpaM), a sparse deformable spectral Mamba module (SDSpeM), and a sparse deformable temporal Mamba module (SDTM) to explicitly learn key information sources in MODIS. The proposed approach is tested on MODIS time series data in comparison with many state-of-the-art approaches, and the results demonstrate that the proposed approach can achieve higher classification accuracy with reduced computational complexity.

Not 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.
