As a key task in remote sensing analysis, semantic segmentation of remote sensing images (RSI) underpins many practical applications. Despite its importance, obtaining dense pixel-wise annotations remains labor-intensive and time-consuming. Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) offers a promising solution by utilizing knowledge from labeled source domains for unlabeled target domains, yet its effectiveness is often compromised by significant distribution shifts arising from variations in imaging conditions. To address this challenge, we propose a depth-aware adaptation network (DAAN), a novel two-branch network that explicitly leverages complementary depth information from a digital surface model (DSM) to enhance cross-domain remote sensing segmentation. Unlike conventional UDA methods that primarily focus on semantic features, DAAN incorporates depth data to build a more generalized feature space. This network introduces three key components: an adaptive feature aggregator (AFA) for progressive semantic-depth feature fusion, a gated prediction selection unit (GPSU) that selectively integrates predictions to mitigate the impact of noisy depth measurements, and misalignment-focused residual refinement (MFRR) module that emphasizes poorly aligned target regions during training. Experiments on the ISPRS and GAMUS datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. In particular, DAAN achieves an mIoU of 50.53% and an F1 score of 65.75% for cross-domain segmentation on ISPRS to GAMUS, outperforming models without depth information by 9.17% and 8.99%, respectively. These results demonstrate the advantage of integrating auxiliary geometric information to improve model generalization on unlabeled remote sensing datasets, contributing to higher mapping accuracy, more reliable automated analysis, and enhanced decision-making support.

Single-object tracking has progressed rapidly, yet it remains fragile under low illumination, occlusion, and background clutter. RGB-Thermal (RGB-T) tracking improves robustness via modality complementarity, yet many existing trackers do not dynamically switch the dominant modality as sensing quality changes and often rely on simple late fusion at a single stage, underutilizing multi-level features across the backbone. To address these challenges, we propose CMCLTrack, a unified framework that integrates the Reliability-Modulated Cross-Modal Adapter (RMCA) and the Cross-Layer Mamba Fusion (CLMF). Specifically, RMCA performs reliability-aware bidirectional cross-modal interaction by dynamically weighting modality contributions, while CLMF efficiently aggregates complementary cues from multiple encoder layers to exploit multi-level representations. To stabilize the learning of layer-wise modality reliability, we additionally incorporate a cross-layer reliability smoothness regularization. Extensive experiments on multiple RGB-T tracking benchmarks demonstrate that CMCLTrack achieves competitive performance compared to existing state-of-the-art methods.

The rapid increase in remote sensing satellites has led to the emergence of distributed space-based observation systems. However, existing distributed remote sensing models often rely on centralized training, resulting in data leakage, communication overhead, and reduced accuracy due to data distribution discrepancies across platforms. To address these challenges, we propose the Self-Adjustment FEderated Learning (SAFE) framework, which innovatively leverages federated learning to enhance collaborative sensing in remote sensing scenarios. SAFE introduces four key strategies: (1) Class Rectification Optimization, which autonomously addresses class imbalance under unknown local and global distributions. (2) Feature Alignment Update, which mitigates Non-IID data issues via locally controlled EMA updates. (3) Dual-Factor Modulation Rheostat, which dynamically balances optimization effects during training. (4) Adaptive Context Enhancement, which is designed to improve model performance by dynamically refining foreground regions, ensuring computational efficiency with accuracy improvement across distributed satellites. Experiments on real-world image classification and object segmentation datasets validate the effectiveness and reliability of the SAFE framework in complex remote sensing scenarios.

Trajectory prediction for multi-agents in complex scenarios is crucial for applications like autonomous driving. However, existing methods often overlook environmental biases, which leads to poor generalization. Additionally, hardware constraints limit the use of large-scale data across environments, and continual learning settings exacerbate the challenge of catastrophic forgetting. To address these issues, we propose the Continual Causal Intervention (C$^{2}$INet) method for generalizable multi-agent trajectory prediction within a continual learning framework. Using variational inference, we align environment-related prior with posterior estimator of confounding factors in the latent space, thereby intervening in causal correlations that affect trajectory representation. Furthermore, we store optimal variational priors across various scenarios using a memory queue, ensuring continuous debiasing during incremental task training. The proposed C$^{2}$INet enhances adaptability to diverse tasks while preserving previous task information to prevent catastrophic forgetting. It also incorporates pruning strategies to mitigate overfitting. Comparative evaluations on three real and synthetic complex datasets against state-of-the-art methods demonstrate that our proposed method consistently achieves reliable prediction performance, effectively mitigating confounding factors unique to different scenarios. This highlights the practical value of our method for real-world applications.

With the rapid growth of the global shipping industry, the increasing number of vessels has brought significant challenges to navigation safety and management. Vessel trajectory prediction technology plays a crucial role in route optimization and collision avoidance. However, current prediction methods face limitations when dealing with complex vessel interactions and multi-dimensional attribute information. Most models rely solely on global modeling in the temporal dimension, considering spatial interactions only later, failing to capture dynamic changes in trajectory interactions at different time points. Additionally, these methods do not fully utilize the multi-attribute information in AIS data, and the simple concatenation of attributes limits the model’s potential. To address these issues, this paper proposes a dual spacial–temporal attention network with multi-attribute information (DualSTMA). This network models vessel behavior and interactions through two distinct paths, comprehensively considering individual vessel intentions and dynamic interactions. Moreover, we divide vessel attributes into dynamic and static categories, with dynamic attributes fused during feature preprocessing, and with static attributes being controlled through a gating mechanism during spatial interactions to regulate the importance of neighboring vessel features. Benchmark tests on real AIS data show that DualSTMA significantly outperforms existing methods in prediction accuracy. Ablation studies and visual analyses further validate the model’s reliability and advantages.
