Long-wave Infrared Polarimetric Remote Sensing Image Fusion for Vehicle Detection

Blurred vehicle contours and low contrast limit detection performance in infrared remote sensing imagery, while existing fusion methods may introduce polarization noise and fail to integrate complementary information effectively. To address these limitations, we propose a Mamba-based infrared polarimetric remote sensing image fusion model. Infrared polarization information reflects surface material properties and geometry, providing complementary information to infrared intensity. The proposed method first combines long-wave infrared total intensity S0 and the degree of linear polarization (DoLP), using a physics-inspired polarization-response proxy and spatial structural continuity to extract guidance features. It then employs bidirectional state space scanning along horizontal, vertical, and both diagonal orientations to enable cross-modal feature fusion across the entire image. Prior-guided multi-window structural similarity, reconstruction constraints, and a relative lower-bound loss for polarization saliency are jointly introduced to suppress noise while preserving global background structures and target polarization features. In addition, we construct AIR-LWIR-Pol, a dataset of 1,901 accurately registered image pairs acquired using an airborne division-of-aperture long-wave infrared polarimetric imaging system, and evaluate downstream vehicle detection using YOLO11. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the comparison methods on four fusion metrics, including entropy and structural similarity. Vehicle detection mAP50 and mAP50-95 reach 55.0% and 29.4%. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of combining physical priors with state space modeling for long-wave infrared polarization image fusion and support its use for target detection in complex remote sensing scenes.

LC-TSRNet: A Land-Cover-Guided Two-Stage Network for Annual MODIS Surface Reflectance Time Series Reconstruction

MODIS surface reflectance (SR) products often suffer from data gaps due to cloud contamination and sensor malfunctions, limiting their applications in long-term and large-scale studies. Most existing methods rely on cloud-free observations from optical time series or introduce SAR time series as auxiliary information. However, due to the coarse spatial resolution of MODIS, cloud-free reference images are difficult to obtain, and SAR imagery is not well matched to the spatial resolution of MODIS, making it difficult to provide effective prior constraints. To address these issues, this study proposes LC-TSRNet for seamless reconstruction of annual MODIS SR products. In the first stage, an annual land cover map is introduced as prior knowledge, and CSPM is designed by leveraging the spectral similarity within identical land cover types, thereby providing prior spectral constraints for missing regions. In the second stage, to address large-area, persistent, and overlapping gaps in MODIS imagery, SMRM is designed to adaptively exploit and integrate multi-scale spatiotemporal contextual information. Meanwhile, to address the limited collaborative utilization of spatio-temporal-spectral information, 3DAM is designed to impose cross-dimensional joint constraints. Considering the lack of publicly available MODIS sample datasets, this study constructs the AIRMOD-TSR dataset. Extensive experimental results show that LC-TSRNet outperforms the comparison methods and achieves better reconstruction accuracy and spectral fidelity. Under the spatially adjacent scenario, LC-TSRNet improves PSNR by 0.56 dB and reduces SAM by 0.13°. The vegetation monitoring application further verifies the practical value of the reconstructed SR time series.
