• MFK-Net: a computationally efficient Mamba-Fourier-KAN hybrid architecture for UAV-based crop classification (2026) · Frontiers in Plant Science · doi

  While cross-dataset experiments on PlantDoc and Martell Forest demonstrate generalization to distinct domains, the model’s performance on crops from other geographic regions (such as temperate cereal crops or Mediterranean orchard species) remains to be validated. Such integration could enable recognition of novel crop species not present in the training data, addressing a key limitation of super- vised approaches.

• A method for improving winter wheat mapping accuracy based on multi-temporal feature fusion and stacking ensemble learning (2026) · Scientific Reports · doi

  Conventional remote sensing classification methods are often limited by inadequate feature representation and weak discriminative capability. High landscape heterogeneity and fragmented cropping patterns in intensive agricultural regions pose significant challenges for accurate winter wheat mapping.
