The study involved training a ViT model on the EuroSAT dataset and comparing its performance with ResNet50. Additionally, a hybrid model architecture integrating CNNs with ViTs was proposed to leverage the strengths of both approaches.envisual transformersconvolutional neural networkssatellite imagedatasetsimage recognitionArticle
