Passive LWIR Hyperspectral Ranging via Transmittance Extraction and Distance Alignment

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

Passive LWIR hyperspectral ranging estimates distance in low-light scenes by exploiting atmospheric absorption in thermal radiance. The proposed TEDA method decouples range estimation from temperature–emissivity inversion, using a baseline estimator and transmittance extraction to recover atmospheric transmittance, then matching it to sensor-domain models for each candidate distance. TEDA reduces ranging bias, yields mean range estimates closer to LiDAR medians, and achieves a 20‑fold speedup over reference-range joint inversion.

Set-Based Transformer for Atmospheric Compensation in Standoff LWIR Hyperspectral Imaging

arXiv:2606. 08324v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Passive long-wave infrared (LWIR) hyperspectral imaging under a standoff geometry depends on atmospheric absorption and emission, as well as reflected radiance, thus making atmospheric compensation essential to get knowledge of a target of interest.

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.

Distilling deep optical flow stereo methods to retrieve dense three-dimensional wind fields

The paper presents a method to replace traditional window-based tracking in geostationary atmospheric motion vector (AMV) stereo matching with deep optical flow, enabling efficient and accurate retrieval of dense three‑dimensional wind fields. A stereo teacher model is distilled into a single‑satellite student model that emulates the teacher’s uncertainty estimates, allowing global wind generation from full‑disk GEO imagery. Validation against radiosondes, operational AMVs, ERA5 reanalysis, and EarthCARE cloud profiles shows that the stereo winds outperform operational AMVs in water‑vapor bands while performing slightly worse in the long‑wave infrared band.
