A study on land use change simulation based on PLUS model and the U-net structure: A case study of Jilin Province by Jiafu Liu, Xiangli Kong, Yue Zhu, Baihao Zhang

“…It is more sensitive to short-term land use changes, but its generalization ability is constrained by sample size and balance. The PLUS model, on the other hand, is more suited for long-term trend prediction and shows significant advantages in simulating land types with fewer pixels, particularly maintaining high stability even under conditions of missing data or sample imbalance. 3) In terms of land use transformation patterns, the PLUS model primarily predicts unidirectional transformations. …”
