Technical Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to the field of remote sensing and machine learning. More particularly, the invention relates to a method for designing and implementing a Liquid Neural Network architecture for multispectral land use and land cover (LULC) classification.

Background of the Invention

Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) classification is important for applications such as environmental monitoring, urban planning, and resource management. Multispectral satellite images are widely used as they provide detailed information across different spectral bands, enabling identification of various land types.

Conventional methods such as rule-based systems and traditional machine learning approaches are commonly used for LULC classification. However, these methods have limitations in handling complex patterns and variations present in multispectral data, resulting in reduced accuracy.

Deep learning models, including convolutional neural networks, have improved classification performance. Despite this, they require large datasets and high computational resources, making them less efficient in many practical situations.

Adaptive neural network models have been introduced to handle dynamic and complex data more effectively. However, their application in multispectral LULC classification is still limited, and simple baseline implementations are not widely available.

Existing methods often fail to fully utilize multispectral data and adapt to changing environmental conditions, leading to inconsistent results.
Accordingly, there exists a need for a method that uses adaptive neural network architectures for accurate and efficient multispectral LULC classification. The present invention addresses these limitations by providing a baseline Liquid Neural Network based method for reliable land classification.
