Optimizing Plankton Image Classification with Metadata-Enhanced Representation Learning

Published in IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2024

This paper presents a novel framework for plankton image classification that incorporates metadata-enhanced representation learning. By leveraging auxiliary data, the proposed model significantly improves classification accuracy and real-time monitoring capabilities, aiding in long-tail species identification for ecosystem studies.
