Researchers have developed DAC-Loop, a novel method for compressing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) used in remote sensing. This technique integrates knowledge distillation with structured channel pruning and an iterative compression schedule, alternating pruning with unstructured sparsification. Experiments on the EuroSAT and NWPU-RESISC45 datasets show that DAC-Loop significantly improves the accuracy-compression trade-off, maintaining high accuracy even with over 90% parameter reduction, offering a path toward efficient compact models for edge devices.
