Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Secure data Harmonization in a heterogeneous remote sensing environment remains a critical issue across distributed geographical platforms. Multispectral and environmental sensors face challenges with sensor noise, calibration drift, and site‐specific variability. This work presents a quantum‐inspired secure multispectral Transformer network for secure data harmonization across three distinct locations. Multi‐channel remote sensing measurements have been performed to acquire metadata in resource‐constrained sensing environments. A quantum‐inspired attention mechanism integrated with a deep encoder followed by a Transformer‐based harmonization module leveraged for long‐range cross‐feature dependencies. A secure feature abstraction layer has been introduced to control data leakage and unauthorized inference. Results demonstrate consistent noise suppression and cross‐sensor alignment, achieving lower error rates and generalizing the proposed approach to Internet of Things (IoT) remote sensing environments.
