Semi-Mamba: Mamba-Driven Semi-Supervised Multimodal Remote Sensing Feature Classification

Mamba architecture achieves the same performance as attention mechanisms with linear complexity, leading to significant progress in remote sensing land cover classification. However, existing Mamba methods rarely leverage the representational complementarity and consistency between different modalities, resulting in challenges such as incomplete fusion. To address these issues, we propose Semi-Mamba, a novel semi-supervised framework specifically designed for high-dimensional multi-modal data fusion. We introduce the Mamba Cross-Modality Fusion Module, which enables cross-modal learning of temporal features through state-space model interactions and smooth integration of input matrices, enhancing the fusion of richer feature representations. Additionally, to tackle the inherent difficulty of acquiring pixel-level annotations in remote sensing datasets, we introduce a multi-modal semi-supervised mechanism. This mechanism utilizes cross-modal supervision between different modalities to maximize data utilization and improve learning efficiency. It effectively enables joint training on both labeled and unlabeled data without relying on pseudo-labels. We integrate these innovations into a unified end-to-end framework. Compared to state-of-the-art CNN and Transformer-based architectures, our framework shows a significant improvement of over 3.12%, setting a new benchmark for semi-supervised multi-modal data fusion.
