This review consolidates the state-of-the-art in applying deep learning to satellite image time series data, focusing on classification and extrinsic regression tasks. It details diverse architectures and learning strategies, identifies key trends, addresses data scarcity solutions, and outlines challenges and future research directions for Earth observation applications.

Key insights

• Deep learning models effectively capture complex spatio-temporal relationships in SITS data, consistently outperforming traditional methods for Earth observation tasks.
• The field is characterized by the evolution of specialized deep learning architectures and hybrid models that leverage both spatial and temporal features, with attention mechanisms and Graph Neural Networks showing growing importance.
• Addressing data scarcity and enhancing domain generalization through semi-supervised, self-supervised, and domain adaptation learning strategies is crucial for developing robust, globally applicable SITS models.
