• Abstract summary: Pyramid Time-Series Transformer (PTST) operates solely on the temporal dimension. We propose a classification-friendly VAE framework that introduces clustering mechanisms into latent space. We hope the proposed framework can serve as a baseline for crop classification with SITS for its modularity and simplicity.

• Abstract: The unprecedented availability of spatial and temporal high-resolution satellite image time series (SITS) for crop type mapping is believed to necessitate deep learning architectures to accommodate challenges arising from both dimensions. Recent state-of-the-art deep learning models have shown promising results by stacking spatial and temporal encoders. However, we present a Pyramid Time-Series Transformer (PTST) that operates solely on the temporal dimension, i.e., neglecting the spatial dimension, can produce superior results with a drastic reduction in GPU memory consumption and easy extensibility. Furthermore, we augment it to perform semi-supervised learning by proposing a classification-friendly VAE framework that introduces clustering mechanisms into latent space and can promote linear separability therein. Consequently, a few principal axes of the latent space can explain the majority of variance in raw data. Meanwhile, the VAE framework with proposed tweaks can maintain competitive classification performance as its purely discriminative counterpart when only $40\%$ of labelled data is used. We hope the proposed framework can serve as a baseline for crop classification with SITS for its modularity and simplicity.

  We propose an ALIgned Sits (ALISE) to take into account the spatial, spectral, and temporal dimensions of satellite imagery. Unlike SSL models currently available for SITS, ALISE incorporates a flexible query mechanism to project the SITS into a common and learned temporal projection space. The quality of the produced representation is assessed through three downstream tasks: crop segmentation (PASTIS), land cover segmentation (MultiSenGE) and a novel crop change detection dataset.

  Few-Shot Class-Incremental Learning (FSCIL) introduces a paradigm in which the problem space expands with limited data. FSCIL methods inherently face the challenge of catastrophic forgetting as data arrives incrementally. We propose the OrCo framework built on two core principles: features' orthogonality in the representation space, and contrastive learning.

  We present DiST, which disentangles the learning of spatial and temporal aspects of videos. The disentangled learning in DiST is highly efficient because it avoids the back-propagation of massive pre-trained parameters. Extensive experiments on five benchmarks show that DiST delivers better performance than existing state-of-the-art methods by convincing gaps.

We conduct standard evaluations on datasets across various domains, including synthetic moving object trajectory, human motion, driving scenes, traffic flow and forecasting weather. We find that recurrent-free models achieve a good balance between efficiency and performance than recurrent models.
