Research summary
AI-generated

Kang Ni's research focuses on developing machine learning and deep learning methods for analyzing remote sensing images, including satellite radar (SAR) and hyperspectral data, to classify land cover, detect targets, and map terrain features. Much of the work involves designing specialized neural network architectures (such as transformers and graph networks) that combine information from multiple sensor types, like optical, radar, and LiDAR data. This research supports applications in environmental monitoring, land use mapping, and object detection from aerial or satellite imagery.
