Researchers have developed SpecTM, a novel physics-informed masking technique for foundation models used in Earth observation. This method enhances trustworthiness by enforcing physical constraints, particularly for predictive models crucial in public health. SpecTM integrates a self-supervised learning framework that jointly optimizes band reconstruction, bio-optical index inference, and temporal prediction, achieving significant improvements in microcystin concentration regression using NASA PACE hyperspectral imagery.
