Soil organic carbon estimation using spaceborne hyperspectral composites on a large scale by Xiangyu Zhao, Zhitong Xiong, Paul Karlshöfer, Nikolaos Tziolas, Martin Wiesmeier, Uta Heiden, Xiao Xiang Zhu

“…Moreover, a spectral attention mechanism was added to the model. Besides hyperspectral input, the digital elevation model (DEM) was also included as an auxiliary input as the measured spectrum has inter-variability dependent on the elevation and the generated topographical features are also relevant with SOC distribution. …”
