Accurate traffic flow prediction is valuable for satisfying citizens' travel needs and alleviating urban traffic pressure. However, it is highly challenging due to the complexity of the urban geospatial structure and the highly nonlinear temporal and spatial dependence on human mobility. Most existing works proposed to rely on strict periods (e.g. daily and weekly) and separate the extraction of temporal and spatial features. Besides, most Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)-based models either fail to capture variations of spatial–temporal features in adjacent timestamps or ignore details of closeness. In this paper, we propose a M ulti-attention based H ybrid-convolution S patial-temporal R ecurrent N etwork (MHSRN) for region-based traffic flow prediction. In MHSRN, we leverage a hybrid-convolution module to capture both shifting features and rich information at the nearest timestamps, and we apply the downsampling procedure to reduce the computation of RNN-based model. Furthermore, we propose to adopt a space-aware multi-attention module to re-perceive global and local spatial–temporal features. We conduct extensive experiments based on three real-world datasets. The results show that the MHSRN outperforms other challenging baselines by approximately 0.2–8.1% in mean absolute error on all datasets. On datasets other than TaxiBJ, the MHSRN reduces the root mean square error by at least 2.8% compared with the RNN-based model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Remote sensing change detection (RSCD) is crucial for our understanding of the dynamic pattern of the Earth's surface and human influence. Recently, transformer-based methodologies have advanced from their powerful global modeling capabilities in RSCD tasks. Nevertheless, they remain under excessive parameterization, which continues to be severely constrained by time and computation resources. Here, we present a transformer-based RSCD model called the Segmentation Multi-Branch Change Detection Network (SMBCNet). Our proposed approach combines a hierarchically structured transformer encoder with a cross-scale enhancement module (CEM) to extract global information with lower complexity. To account for the diverse nature of changes, we introduce a plug-and-play multi-branch change fusion module (MCFM) that integrates temporal features. Within this module, we transform the change detection task into a semantic segmentation problem. Moreover, we identify the Temporal Feature Aggregation Module (TFAM) to facilitate integrating features from diverse spatial scales. These results demonstrate that semantic segmentation is an effective solution to change detection (CD) problems in remote sensing images. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recent deep-learning successes have led to a new wave of semantic segmentation in remote sensing (RS) applications. However, most approaches rarely distinguish the role of the body and edge of RS ground objects; thus, our understanding of these semantic parts has been frustrated by the lack of detailed geometry and appearance. Here we present a multiscale decoupled supervision network for RS semantic segmentation. Our proposed framework extends a densely supervised encoder-decoder network with a feature decoupling module that can decouple semantic features with different scales into distinct body and edge components. We further conduct multiscale supervision of the original and decoupled body and edge features to enhance inner consistency and spatial boundaries in remote sensing image (RSI) ground objects, enabling new segmentation designs and semantic components that can learn to perform multiscale geometry and appearance. Our results outperform the previous algorithm and are robust to different datasets. These results demonstrate that decoupled supervision is an effective solution to semantic segmentation tasks of RS images. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
