Cloud removal aims to accurately reconstruct the ground objects obscured by clouds in remote sensing images. Existing Transformer-based methods utilizing self-attention have shown impressive results by effectively modeling long-range dependencies in cloudy images.
The paper introduces OrbitALIF, a federated learning framework that performs cloud removal on low‑earth‑orbit satellites. It uses a compact 2.30 M‑parameter spiking neural network with adaptive gated fusion and spectral‑spatial hybrid attention modules, enabling both training and inference onboard. The approach achieves competitive cloud‑removal quality while consuming only 0.287 mJ per inference on neuromorphic hardware, a 72.3‑fold energy reduction compared to an equivalent ANN.

Local feature matching is a fundamental component of photogrammetry, enabling accurate image correspondence critical for tasks such as 3D reconstruction, stereo mapping, and visual localization. While recent detector-free matching methods, like LoFTR, have advanced the field, the global features obtained by leveraging the global-range modeling capacity of the unconstrained attention mechanism compromise the model's attention to the salient structures in certain scenarios.
