This research introduces CV-SSMNet, a novel architecture that integrates electromagnetic scattering physics directly into complex-valued state-space models for PolSAR image classification. By embedding seven physically meaningful priors as modulation signals alongside long-range dependency modeling, the approach effectively guides deep feature evolution beyond shallow auxiliary inputs. The method demonstrates improved regional consistency and boundary preservation on benchmark datasets, highlighting a significant advancement in physics-informed GeoAI representation learning.
Physics-Aware Complex-Valued State Space Model with Scattering-Prior Feature Modulation for PolSAR Image Classification
arXiv:2607.19787v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image classification is a representative task for physics-aware GeoAI, where land-cover semantics are closely coupled with electromagnetic scattering mechanisms. Many existing complex-valued networks can preserve amplitude-phase information, but they are often limited in long-range spatial dependency modeling and usually incorporate polarimetric priors only as input-level or shallow auxiliary features. As a result, physical knowledge is insufficiently used to guide deep feature evolution. To address this issue, this paper proposes CV-SSMNet, a physics-aware complex-valued state-space network with scattering-aware feature modulation for PolSAR image classification. The proposed method builds a complex-valued state-space model (CV-SSM) in the original complex domain to capture long-range spatial dependencies while preserving polarimetric amplitude-phase coupling. Meanwhile, seven physically meaningful scattering priors, are encoded as FiLM-style modulation signals to adaptively recalibrate complex-valued representations during feature evolution. CV-SSMNet further integrates multi-scale complex convolutions, branch-wise CV-SSM encoding, prior-guided recalibration, and lightweight global context aggregation, enabling physically guided representation learning from local scattering structures to global spatial context. Experiments on three L-band benchmark datasets and an additional P-band BIOMASS evaluation demonstrate that CV-SSMNet achieves competitive accuracy, improved regional consistency, and better boundary preservation, supporting the effectiveness of embedding polarimetric scattering mechanisms into complex-valued long-range GeoAI representation learning.
