UAV Thermal Imagery for Inert Ordnance Screening: Multi Campaign Dataset Development,Object Detection, and Practical Recommendations

The paper presents a multi‑campaign UAV thermal image dataset for inert ordnance screening, comprising 5,855 labeled image pairs collected in Tennessee across diverse terrains and seasons. The authors trained YOLOV11l and RT‑DETR‑R50 models on 33 m and 15 m altitude data, achieving automated candidate detection, and provided practical guidelines for future humanitarian mine action surveys. The dataset and models aim to aid screening and prioritization for follow‑up technical surveys or EOD assessment, not to replace clearance operations.

PBLH Estimation from Satellite Radiances via a Dual-Encoder Transformer

The paper presents a dual‑encoder Transformer model for estimating Planetary Boundary Layer Height (PBLH) from satellite radiances, addressing challenges of multimodal, spatially incomplete data. It benchmarks eight different approaches, analyzes model reliance via grouped Shapley decomposition, and demonstrates that the proposed architecture achieves a mean absolute error of 155.8 m on a global test set, outperforming all baselines. On out‑of‑distribution data from the TEAMx campaign, the model attains 165.3 m MAE, better than a pixel‑wise baseline trained on the same data.
