Hyperspectral Imaging Surface Analysis for Dried and Thermally Modified Wood: An Exploratory Study by Olena Myronycheva, Ekaterina Sidorova, Olle Hagman, Margot Sehlstedt-Persson, Olov Karlsson, Dick Sandberg

“…This peak represents the largest variation that characterizes the knot area and can be related to areas in wood rich in hydrocarbons and phenol, and it can perhaps be used for future calibration of other wood surfaces. The discriminant analysis of thermally treated wood showed the strongest differentiation between the planed and rip-cut wood surfaces and a fairly clear discrimination between the two thermal processes. …”

Contrastive Dual-Pool Feature Adaption for Domain Incremental Remote Sensing Scene Classification by Yingzhao Shao, Yunsong Li, Xiaodong Han

“…DACL introduces three key components: (1) a dual-pool architecture comprising a prompt pool for domain-specific tokens and an adapter pool for feature adaptation, enabling efficient domain-specific feature extraction; (2) a dual loss mechanism that combines image-attracting loss and text-separating loss to enhance intra-domain feature discrimination while maintaining clear class boundaries; and (3) a K-means-based domain selector that efficiently matches unknown domain features with existing domain representations using cosine similarity. …”
