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

In the face of bi-temporal image style inconsistency and complex land surface environment, most existing change detection methods focus solely on spatial domain modeling while neglecting frequency domain information. Building upon the foundation that frequency domain features effectively characterize image styles, we propose a cropland change detection method based on spatial-frequency domain synergy and Scale Change Awareness (SFSCANet). Specifically, features are first extracted in the spatial domain, then transformed into the frequency domain. The Frequency Domain Feature Interaction Module (FDFIM) filters stylistic noise from features to unify image styles. After returning to the spatial domain, a Transformer performs global modeling, followed by the Scale Change Awareness Module (SCAM) to refine local feature details, enhancing the model’s ability to detect cropland in complex scenes. Experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms 12 state-of-the-art change detection (CD) methods across four datasets.
