Continual Test-Time Adaptation (CTTA) involves adapting a pre-trained source model to continually changing unsupervised target domains. In this paper, we systematically analyze the challenges of this task: online environment, unsupervised nature, and the risks of error accumulation and catastrophic forgetting under continual domain shifts. To address these challenges, we reshape the online data buffering and organizing mechanism for CTTA. We propose an uncertainty-aware buffering approach to identify and aggregate significant samples with high certainty from the unsupervised, single-pass data stream. Based on this, we propose a graph-based class relation preservation constraint to overcome catastrophic forgetting. Furthermore, a pseudo-target replay objective is used to mitigate error accumulation. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method in both segmentation and classification CTTA tasks. Code is available at https://github.com/z1358/OBAO.

While hyperspectral images (HSI) benefit from numerous spectral channels that provide rich information for classification, the increased dimensionality and sensor variability make them more sensitive to distributional discrepancies across domains, which in turn can affect classification performance. To tackle this issue, hyperspectral single-source domain generalization (SDG) typically employs data augmentation to simulate potential domain shifts and enhance model robustness under the condition of single-source domain training data availability. However, blind augmentation may produce samples misaligned with real-world scenarios, while excessive emphasis on realism can suppress diversity, highlighting a tradeoff between realism and diversity that limits generalization to target domains. To address this challenge, we propose a spectral property-driven data augmentation (SPDDA) that explicitly accounts for the inherent properties of HSI, namely the device-dependent variation in the number of spectral channels and the mixing of adjacent channels. Specifically, SPDDA employs a spectral diversity module that resamples data from the source domain along the spectral dimension to generate samples with varying spectral channels, and constructs a channel-wise adaptive spectral mixer by modeling inter-channel similarity, thereby avoiding fixed augmentation patterns. To further enhance the realism of the augmented samples, we propose a spatial-spectral co-optimization mechanism, which jointly optimizes a spatial fidelity constraint and a spectral continuity self-constraint. Moreover, the weight of the spectral self-constraint is adaptively adjusted based on the spatial counterpart, thus preventing over-smoothing in the spectral dimension and preserving spatial structure. Extensive experiments conducted on three remote sensing benchmarks demonstrate that SPDDA outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
