In the 6G era, the proliferation of smart devices has led to explosive growth in data volume. The traditional cloud computing can no longer meet the demand for efficient processing of large amounts of data. Edge computing can solve the energy loss problems caused by transmission delay and multi-level forwarding in cloud computing by processing data close to the data source. In this paper, we propose a cloud–edge–end collaborative task offloading strategy with task response time and execution energy consumption as the optimization targets under a limited resource environment. The tasks generated by smart devices can be processed using three kinds of computing nodes, including user devices, edge servers, and cloud servers. The computing nodes are constrained by bandwidth and computing resources. For the target optimization problem, a genetic particle swarm optimization algorithm considering three layers of computing nodes is designed. The task offloading optimization is performed by introducing (1) opposition-based learning algorithm, (2) adaptive inertia weights, and (3) adjustive acceleration coefficients. All metaheuristic algorithms adopt a symmetric training method to ensure fairness and consistency in evaluation. Through experimental simulation, compared with the classic evolutionary algorithm, our algorithm reduces the objective function value by about 6–12% and has higher algorithm convergence speed, accuracy, and stability.

Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) has attracted increasing attention in remote sensing image understanding because it can learn transferable representations from unlabeled images. However, two issues remain insufficiently examined in collaborative SSL for remote sensing. First, when high-ratio masking removes entire small objects or structurally informative regions, the remaining visible patches may provide insufficient evidence for semantically coherent reconstruction. Second, heterogeneous self-supervised objectives may exhibit different loss scales, gradient magnitudes, and convergence behaviors such that fixed coefficients can produce uneven branch contributions during training. To address these issues, this paper proposes Context-Consistency Enhanced Collaborative Self-Supervised Learning (C2DSSL) for remote sensing image understanding. C2DSSL introduces a teacher–student context-consistency constraint, in which multi-scale reconstruction features from the complete teacher observation serve as contextual targets for the student network when reconstructing the corresponding masked observation. In addition, gradient-sensitive dynamic weighting uses temporally smoothed loss-gradient magnitudes as empirical signals to adjust the relative contributions of heterogeneous self-supervised objectives. Under the evaluated settings, adding the context-consistency constraint improves KNN representation evaluation, UCMerced classification, Potsdam semantic segmentation, and DOTA oriented object detection, while maintaining the Baseline performance on the Million-AID subset. Dynamic weighting shows task-dependent effects, including a performance gain on the Million-AID subset classification task when combined with CCL.
