This paper investigates remote sensing data recognition and classification with multimodal data fusion. Aiming at the problems of low recognition and classification accuracy and the difficulty in integrating multimodal features in existing methods, a multimodal remote sensing data recognition and classification model based on a heatmap and Hirschfeld–Gebelein–Rényi (HGR) correlation pooling fusion operation is proposed. A novel HGR correlation pooling fusion algorithm is developed by combining a feature fusion method and an HGR maximum correlation algorithm. This method enables the restoration of the original signal without changing the value of transmitted information by performing reverse operations on the sample data. This enhances feature learning for images and improves performance in specific tasks of interpretation by efficiently using multi-modal information with varying degrees of relevance. Ship recognition experiments conducted on the QXS-SROPT dataset demonstrate that the proposed method surpasses existing remote sensing data recognition methods. Furthermore, land cover classification experiments conducted on the Houston 2013 and MUUFL datasets confirm the generalizability of the proposed method. The experimental results fully validate the effectiveness and significant superiority of the proposed method in the recognition and classification of multimodal remote sensing data.

The joint use of hyperspectral image (HSI) and Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) data has been widely applied for land cover classification because it can comprehensively represent the urban structures and land material properties. However, existing methods fail to combine the different image information effectively, which limits the semantic relevance of different data sources. To solve this problem, in this paper, an Attention-guided Fusion and Classification framework based on Convolutional Neural Network (AFC-CNN) is proposed to classify the land cover based on the joint use of HSI and LiDAR data. In the feature extraction module, AFC-CNN employs the three dimensional convolutional neural network (3D-CNN) combined with a multi-scale structure to extract the spatial-spectral features of HSI, and uses a 2D-CNN to extract the spatial features from LiDAR data. Simultaneously, the spectral attention mechanism is adopted to assign weights to the spectral channels, and the cross attention mechanism is introduced to impart significant spatial weights from LiDAR to HSI, which enhance the interaction between HSI and LiDAR data and leverage the fusion information. Then two feature branches are concatenated and transferred to the feature fusion module for higher-level feature extraction and fusion. In the fusion module, AFC-CNN adopts the depth separable convolution connected through the residual structures to obtain the advanced features, which can help reduce computational complexity and improve the fitting ability of the model. Finally, the fused features are sent into the linear classification module for final classification. Experimental results on three datasets, i.e., Houston, MUUFL and Trento datasets show that the proposed AFC-CNN framework achieves better classification accuracy compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms. The overall accuracy of AFC-CNN on Houston, MUUFL and Trento datasets are 94.2%, 95.3% and 99.5%, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recent classifications in Earth Observation (EO) commonly involve a combination of Hyperspectral Image (HSI) and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) signals. However, many current methods fail to consider the HSI-LiDAR information concurrently, especially in terms of both its intra- and inter-modality aspects. Additionally, current methods are generally limited in their ability to fuse the features extracted from different modalities. Hence, this paper proposes a center-bridged framework, called Interaction Fusion (IF), that can leverage diverse information concerning the intra- and inter-modality relationships at the same time. More specifically, intra- and inter-modality information can be enriched by introducing the center patch of HSI (cp-HSI) as an extra input, This introduces additional contextual information within and across modalities that can be leverage for deeper insights. Further, we propose a fusion matrix as a structural feature map designed to integrate nine views generated by a view generator, enabling the adaptive combination of intra- and inter-modality information. Overall, our approach allows potential patterns to be captured, while mitigating any bias resulting from incomplete information. Extensive experiments conducted on three widely recognized datasets – Trento, MUUFL, and Houston – demonstrate that the IF framework achieves state-of-the-art results, surpassing existing methods.

• Integrated techno-economic assessment of the hydrogen value chain in the Permian Basin, spanning production, storage, and transportation. • Identified cost benefits in feedstock and tax credits for Permian-based hydrogen, balanced by transport expenses to Houston. • Scaling up to 412,000 metric tons/year can counterbalance transportation costs, positioning the Permian Basin competitively in the hydrogen market. This paper investigates the untapped potential of the Permian Basin, a multifaceted energy axis in Texas and adjoining states, in the emerging era of decarbonization. Aligned with current policy directives on regional hydrogen hubs, this study explores the viability of developing a hydrogen energy hub in the Permian Basin, thereby producing low-carbon intensity hydrogen from natural gas in the Basin and transporting it to the Greater Houston area. Diverging from existing literature, this study provides an integrated techno-economic evaluation of the entire hydrogen value chain in the Permian Basin, encompassing production, storage, and transportation. Furthermore, it comparatively analyzes the scenario of interest against an optimized base scenario, thereby underlining comparative advantages and disadvantages. The paper concludes that the delivered cost of Permian-based low-carbon intensity hydrogen to the Greater Houston area is $1.85/kg, benchmarked to the scenario, with hydrogen produced close to the Greater Houston area and delivered at $1.42/kg. Our findings reveal that Permian-based low-carbon intensity hydrogen production can achieve cost savings in feedstock ($0.25/kg) and potentially accrue a higher production tax credit due to a shorter gas supply chain to production ($0.33/kg). Nevertheless, a significant cost barrier is the expense of long-haul pipeline transport ($0.90/kg) from the Permian Basin to Houston as opposed to local production. Despite the obstacles, the study identifies a potential breakeven solution where increasing the production scale to at least 412,000 metric ton per year (about 3 steam-reforming plants) in the Permian Basin can effectively lower costs in the transport sector. Hence a scaled-up production can mitigate the cost difference and establish the Permian Basin as a competitive player in the hydrogen market. In conclusion, a SWOT analysis presents Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats associated with Permian-based hydrogen production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
