Joint Frequency-Spatial Domain Network for Remote Sensing Optical Image Change Detection

Yuan Zhou et al.

Summary: Change detection for remote sensing images involves detecting regional surface changes between two images taken at different times. This study introduces a joint frequency-spatial domain network (JFSDNet) to implement remote sensing optical image change detection, achieving favorable performance on two publicly available datasets.

Lunar regolith and substructure at Chang'E-4 landing site in South Pole-Aitken basin

Jinhai Zhang et al.

Summary: The lunar penetrating radar profiles taken by the lunar rover Yutu-2 revealed a three-unit substructure at the landing site in the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin, supporting the local stratigraphy and geological explanation. The surface materials at the Chang'E-4 landing site are dominated by ejecta from the Finsen crater, indicating that they represent the initial lunar deep interior materials rather than later erupted basalts.

Geochemistry of the Von Karman crater floor and thickness of the non-mare ejecta over the Chang'e-4 landing area

Dijun Guo et al.

Summary: China's Chang' e-4 mission successfully conducted the first lunar farside landing exploration in the Von Karmen crater region, revealing the geological characteristics and thickness of ejecta in the landing site. The ejecta at the landing site is approximately 40 meters thick, dominated by non-mare ejecta from nearby craters, providing valuable information for interpreting ongoing data and geological analysis of the region.

Qingwen Li et al.

Summary: This paper proposed an improved remote-sensing image scene classification method based on a global self-attention module, which can extract global information more comprehensively and express semantic information effectively. The effectiveness of the proposed method was validated through comparative experiments on different datasets, showing significant improvement in remote-sensing image scene classification accuracy.

Evaluating the Thickness and Stratigraphy of Ejecta Materials at the Chang'e-4 Landing Site

Luyuan Xu et al.

Summary: The landing site of China's Chang'e-4 probe on the lunar far side is located in the mare basalts at the bottom of the Von Karman crater. The interpretation of surface measurements was complicated by various issues, and a thorough examination of possible foreign materials showed that Finsen crater was the main source. The estimated total impact ejecta thickness at the landing site was found to be thinner than 30m, with Pike's model being the most consistent with observations from the Yutu-2 rover.

Intermittent volcanic activity detected in the Von Karman crater on the farside of the Moon

Yuefeng Yuan et al.

Summary: The subsurface structures of the Von Karman crater within the South Pole-Aitken basin on the farside of the Moon were examined using lunar penetrating radar data, revealing multiple periods of intermittent lava flows and impacting events, as well as evidence of relatively young volcanic activity. The mapped stratigraphy and chronology suggest a self-consistent history within the crater and potential connections to events on the lunar nearside.

Inferring the Shallow Layered Structure at the Chang'E-4 Landing Site: A Novel Interpretation Approach Using Lunar Penetrating Radar

Iraklis Giannakis et al.

Summary: This study investigated the shallow layers of lunar regolith at the Chang'E-4 landing site using lunar penetrating radar to identify four layers between 0 and 10 m. A revised stratigraphic model was suggested for the post-Imbrian ejecta at the Von Karman crater based on these findings. A novel hyperbola-fitting scheme was proposed to estimate permittivity profiles and detect previously unnoticed layered structures.

A Novel Approach for Permittivity Estimation of Lunar Regolith Using the Lunar Penetrating Radar Onboard Chang'E-4 Rover

Ruigang Wang et al.

Summary: This study proposed a new method that considers the antenna mounting height and spacing in estimating the relative permittivity of lunar regolith, leading to improvements in accuracy. Through numerical simulations and analysis of radar images, it was found that this method significantly enhances the estimation accuracy of relative permittivity and provides a reassessment of the thickness of lunar regolith at the Chang'E 4 landing site.
