Remote sensing provides an efficient roadmap in geological analysis and interpretation. However, some challenges arise when remote sensing techniques are integrated with machine learning in geological surveys. Factors including irregular spatial distribution, sample imbalance, interclass resemblances, regolith, and geochemical similarities impede geological feature diagnosis, interpretation, and identification across varied remote sensing datasets. To address these limitations, a hybrid-attention-integrated long short-term memory (LSTM) network is employed to diagnose, interpret, and identify lithological feature representations in a remote sensing-based geological analysis using multisource data fusion. The experimental design integrates varied datasets including Sentinel-2A, Landsat-9, ASTER, ALOS PALSAR DEM, and Bouguer anomaly gravity data. The proposed model incorporates a hybrid attention mechanism (HAM) comprising channel and spatial attention submodules. HAM utilizes an adaptive technique that merges global-average-pooled features with max-pooled features, enhancing the model&rsquo:s accuracy in identifying lithological units. Additionally, a channel separation operation is employed to allot refined channel features into clusters based on channel attention maps along the channel dimension. The comprehensive analysis of results from comparative extensive experiments demonstrates HAM-LSTM&rsquo:s state-of-the-art performance, outperforming existing attention modules and attention-based models (ViT, SE-LSTM, and CBAM-LSTM). Comparing HAM-LSTM to baseline LSTM, the HAM module&rsquo:s integrated configurations equip the proposed model to better diagnose and identify lithological units, thereby increasing the accuracy by 3.69%.
