Gait recognition is an emerging biometric technology that enables non-intrusive and hard-to-spoof human identification. However, most existing methods are confined to short-range, unimodal settings and fail to generalize to long-range and cross-distance scenarios under real-world conditions. To address this gap, we present LRGait, the first LiDAR-Camera multimodal benchmark designed for robust long-range gait recognition across diverse outdoor distances and environments. We further propose EMGaitNet, an end-to-end framework tailored for long-range multimodal gait recognition. To bridge the modality gap between RGB images and point clouds, we introduce a semantic-guided fusion pipeline. A CLIP-based Semantic Mining (SeMi) module first extracts human body-part-aware semantic cues, which are then employed to align 2D and 3D features via a Semantic-Guided Alignment (SGA) module within a unified embedding space. A Symmetric Cross-Attention Fusion (SCAF) module hierarchically integrates visual contours and 3D geometric features, and a Spatio-Temporal (ST) module captures global gait dynamics. Extensive experiments on various gait datasets validate the effectiveness of our method.

Lightweight remote sensing image super-resolution (RSISR) methods aim to reconstruct remote sensing images (RSIs) while reducing computational complexity. Previous lightweight model development has primarily focused on the design of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). While CNNs excel at capturing local features, they are limited in establishing long-range dependencies. Mamba, as a model for long-range modeling, has linear computational complexity, making it a viable option for lightweight models. Based on these considerations, this paper proposes an efficient mamba-attention network (EMAN) that can efficiently capture the intricate details and broader semantic information in RSIs. Specifically, we designed a multi-scale detail extraction unit (MDEU) and a multi-dimensional mamba-attention (MDMA). In MDEU, we introduced a multi-scale mechanism and local variance to focus on structural information in RSIs. In MDMA, we integrated spatial expansion and an atrous-based selective scan mechanism to design an efficient scanning method. This method ensures the lightweight nature of the model while establishing global correlations. Additionally, MDMA establishes inter-channel correlations to enhance information exchange. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed method on two remote sensing datasets and five benchmark super-resolution (SR) datasets. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method can achieve superior performance while maintaining a model complexity similar to other lightweight models.

In the field of remote sensing image super-resolution (RSISR), most methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) tend to focus on high-weight features in the convolutional kernels, thus overlooking low-weight background features. This bias may result in the neglect of some important information in the background. To address this challenge, we propose a background-based multiscale feature enhancement network (BMFENet), which can extract and supplement missing features from different scale backgrounds to improve the reconstruction of remote sensing images (RSIs). Specifically, we constructed a large kernel feature supplement block (LFSB). The LFSB uses large kernel attention mechanism and multiscale mechanism to expand the receptive field, aggregating global information. Meanwhile, it generates background feature weights to increase the attention to neglected information, thereby reducing the distortion of detailed features. Furthermore, to enhance the nonlinear expression capability of the model, we designed a lattice gated unit (LGU). The LGU removes redundant information through a gating mechanism, efficiently aggregates useful channel information through interchannel interactions and attention mechanisms, and introduces directional convolution to make the model more adaptable to super-resolution (SR) tasks in complex scenes. We validated our method on two remote sensing and four SR benchmark datasets, and the results show that our approach achieves a good balance between performance and complexity.
