Abstract
Climate disaster monitoring faces critical challenges in detecting small-scale targets (e.g., incipient wildfires, micro-scale storm cells) under complex atmospheric conditions characterized by low signal-to-noise ratios and dynamic spatiotemporal variations. To address this issue, we propose a neuromorphic small object detection framework (NSOD-CDM) that integrates bio-inspired neural mechanisms with climate data characteristics. By mimicking the human visual cortex's hierarchical processing and attention mechanisms, the NSOD-CDM architecture combines a spiking neural network (SNN) with a multi-scale feature fusion module, enabling adaptive feature extraction from multi-source remote sensing data (infrared, radar, and hyperspectral).
The key innovation lies in the event-driven dynamic learning mechanism, which utilizes spatiotemporal spike coding to suppress background noise in climate images while enhancing sensitivity to small targets (pixel area < 0.01% of image). Evaluated on the NWP-RS (Numerical Weather Prediction Remote Sensing) dataset containing 12,500 annotated disaster scenarios, our method achieves a detection precision of 92.7% for targets smaller than 32×32 pixels, surpassing conventional CNNs (78.4%) and Transformer-based models (85.9%). Notably, the neuromorphic implementation reduces computational energy consumption by 63% compared to GPU-accelerated deep learning frameworks, demonstrating feasibility for edge deployment in meteorological stations.
Case studies on typhoon eyewall localization and wildfire ignition point identification further validate the framework's robustness to cloud occlusion and illumination changes. This work provides a novel paradigm for energy-efficient and reliable climate disaster early warning systems, bridging the gap between brain-inspired computing and geoscientific applications.
