Bridging Perception and Action: A Lightweight Multimodal Meta-Planner Framework for Robust Earth Observation Agents

Autonomous Earth Observation (EO) agents are transitioning from passive perception to complex, multi-step task execution. However, current architectures that integrate planning and execution within a single model often struggle with combinatorial complexity and reasoning errors in dynamic EO scenarios. To resolve these challenges, we propose the Lightweight Multimodal Meta-Planner (LMMP) framework. LMMP incorporates a dual-awareness mechanism that grounds strategic plans in both multimodal image features and high-level task semantics. Crucially, we introduce a Meta Task Library to inject remote sensing expert knowledge directly into the workflow, which standardizes domain logic and ensures plans are physically feasible. We further implement a two-stage training pipeline, initializing the Meta-Planner via expert-distilled Supervised Fine-Tuning and refining it through Direct Preference Optimization based on execution feedback. Extensive experiments on a dataset derived from EarthBench and ThinkGeo demonstrate that LMMP significantly improves tool-calling accuracy and task success rates. Moreover, the framework exhibits strong ``plug-and-play'' versatility, consistently enhancing the performance of diverse executor backbones across previously unseen EO missions.

StoManager1: An Enhanced, Automated, and High-throughput Tool to Measure Leaf Stomata and Guard Cell Metrics Using Empirical and Theoretical Algorithms

Automated stomata detection and measuring are vital for understanding plant physiological performance and ecological functioning in global water and carbon cycles. Current methods are laborious, time-consuming, prone to bias, and limited in scale. We developed StoManager1, a high-throughput tool utilizing empirical and theoretical algorithms and convolutional neural networks to automatically detect, count, and measure over 30 stomatal and guard cell metrics, including stomata and guard cell area, length, width, and orientation, stomatal evenness, divergence, and aggregation index. These metrics, combined with leaf functional traits, explained 78% and 93% of productivity and intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) variances in hardwoods, making them significant factors in leaf physiology and tree growth. StoManager1 demonstrates exceptional precision and recall (mAP@0.5 over 0.993), effectively capturing diverse stomatal properties across various species. StoManager1facilitates the automation of measuring leaf stomata, enabling broader exploration of stomatal control in plant growth and adaptation to environmental stress and climate change. This has implications for global gross primary productivity (GPP) modeling and estimation, as integrating stomatal metrics can enhance comprehension and predictions of plant growth and resource usage worldwide. StoManager1's source code and an online demonstration are available on GitHub (https://github.com/JiaxinWang123/StoManager.git), along with a user-friendly Windows application on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7686022).

Multibeam Satellite Communications with Energy Efficiency Optimization

Energy efficiency (EE) is an important aspect of satellite communications. Different with the existing algorithms that typically use the first-order Taylor lower bound approximation to convert non-convex EE maximization (EEM) problems into convex ones, in this letter a two-step quadratic transformation method is presented. In the first step, the fractional form of the achievable rate over the total power consumption is converted into a non-fractional form based on quadratic transformation. In the second step, the fractional form of the signal power over the interference-and-noise power is further converted into a non-fractional form, still based on quadratic transformation. After the two-step quadratic transformation, the original EEM problem is converted into an equivalent convex one. Then an alternating optimization algorithm is presented to solve it by iteratively performing two stages until a stop condition is satisfied. Simulation results show that the presented algorithm can fast converge and its performance is better than that of the sequential convex approximation algorithm and the multibeam interference mitigation algorithm.

Efficient classification using parallel and scalable compressed model and Its application on intrusion detection

In order to achieve high efficiency of classification in intrusion detection, a compressed model is proposed in this paper which combines horizontal compression with vertical compression. OneR is utilized as horizontal com-pression for attribute reduction, and affinity propagation is employed as vertical compression to select small representative exemplars from large training data. As to be able to computationally compress the larger volume of training data with scalability, MapReduce based parallelization approach is then implemented and evaluated for each step of the model compression process abovementioned, on which common but efficient classification methods can be directly used. Experimental application study on two publicly available datasets of intrusion detection, KDD99 and CMDC2012, demonstrates that the classification using the compressed model proposed can effectively speed up the detection procedure at up to 184 times, most importantly at the cost of a minimal accuracy difference with less than 1% on average.
