Dynamic monitoring of marine floating raft aquaculture in Jiangsu province based on multi-source SAR imagery by Wen Li, Jia Xu, Yuanyuan Chen, Chongbin Liu

“…Results showed that (1) Combining ALOS-1 and Sentinel-1 data enabled mapping the long-term dynamics of the MFRA in Jiangsu province, China. (2) Compared with other deep neural network models, the BE-Swin model improved the extraction accuracy by incorporating 3 key modules within the Swin Transformer. The BE-Swin model enhances boundary extraction, reducing errors, omissions, and adhesion issues. (3) MFRA in Jiangsu Province is distributed in Haizhou Bay of Lianyungang, the radial ridge group region of Yancheng, and the northern coast of Nantong. …”
