“…Benefitting from the ability to capture nonlinear correlations, machine learning methods, which can provide a direct solution by establishing a link between the input feature set to the output results, have been applied for parameter retrieval from TIR remote sensing data [20], including LST estimation from multiple-channel TIR data [21,22], LST residual optimization from SW algorithm results [23], and the simultaneous retrieval of land surface and atmospheric parameters from TIR hyperspectral data [24][25][26]. Ensemble learning methods, which can learn multiple hypotheses to solve a problem together by combining various weak learning models, including bagging, boosting, and stacking techniques, have demonstrated the ability to represent complex physical processes well and have been applied to remote sensing applications with promising results, such as mapping natural hazards, predicting crop yields, and spatial downscaling [20,27,28], and they can improve accuracy and reduce overfitting by learning multiple hypotheses from training datasets [29].…”
