Hyperspectral reflectance spectroscopy enables non-destructive estimation of plant functional traits, yet current deep learning approaches process spectra as one-dimensional sequences, which limits how they capture long-range inter-band dependencies. We asked whether transforming 1D spectra into 2D image representations improves multi-trait prediction with convolutional neural networks (CNN).

AT‑ViT is a dual‑branch Vision Transformer that processes both raw herbarium scans and their segmentation masks through a multi‑scale, multi‑view cross‑attention fusion. It uses a mask‑guided patch weighting scheme to emphasize plant regions and suppress background artifacts, thereby encouraging plant‑centric representations. In trait classification tasks such as leaf base shape and thorns, AT‑ViT consistently outperforms baselines, improves spatial attention grounding (IoU_p +15.66 to +18.03 pp, IoU_b –27.92 to –31.02 pp), and shows greater robustness to synthetic background perturbations, surpassing ResNet101 by up to +32.32 accuracy points and CrossViT by up to +5.07 points.
whyItMatters":"The model addresses shortcut learning caused by background cues in herbarium images, leading to more accurate and interpretable plant trait recognition."
